Summary:
- Auburn City Council approved a key infrastructure development agreement for The Everly, a $110 million student housing project adding 718 beds on 4.8 acres near West Glenn Avenue, advancing the development toward construction while addressing public safety, parking, and crane use.
- The agreement includes traffic management measures, construction restrictions, and infrastructure upgrades such as water main improvements and street restriping, with the developer contributing $40,000 for signal retiming and paving costs for water main work to support increased resident demand.
- The Everly is expected to complete by May 2028, reflecting Auburn’s growing student housing market driven by university expansion and city zoning policies that concentrate student housing west of Donahue Drive.
