For student housing, amenities are just as important as location. To enhance tenant retention and appeal, the owner and manager of Trojan Plaza, a popular USC student apartment complex sought to revamp its three common areas—transforming them into more inviting, functional spaces.
Casco partnered with HLW in a design-build delivery, ensuring a seamless permitting and construction process. With students actively living on-site, careful scheduling and communication were key to minimizing disruptions—especially during crucial academic periods like final exams.
A Transformation for Community and Comfort
The revitalized common areas now offer a mix of aesthetics and durability, featuring:
Reimagined main courtyard with finished concrete and tile for a sleek, modern look
Upgraded basketball court for exercise and entertainment
Pool deck and fence addition to enhance safety and style
Retaining wall repairs and waterproofing for long-term structural integrity
Hand-crafted metal entry gates for an elevated sense of arrival
Fresh landscaping, paint, and outdoor furniture to create inviting spaces for students to gather and relax
This transformation ensures that the complex remains a sought-after off-campus residence for USC students.
