Trustees Approve University Heights
CSUF strikes a deal with the Fullerton Elk's Lodge to create affordable housing for faculty/staff.

Cal State Fullerton’s latest venture into affordable faculty/staff housing received the blessing of the California State University Board of Trustees, and construction is set to begin in early September.

In July, the CSU board approved the funding proposal for University Heights, a planned development of 42 houses on part of the property now occupied by the Fullerton Elks Lodge. Fullerton City Council OK’d the development earlier in the year.

University Heights is the second faculty-staff housing development effort of the CSUF Housing Authority, a special- purpose auxiliary established to oversee the development of affordable housing for the university. In 2002, the authority completed construction of University Gables located on eight acres at the corner of Malvern Avenue and Dale Street in Buena Park. That development has 36 town homes and 50 detached homes.

As part of the purchase arrangement the CSUF Housing Authority will acquire approximately three acres of land for the new homes. In return, the Elks will receive funding to build a new 13,000-square-foot lodge, valued at approximately $3 million, adjacent to the University Heights neighborhood.Additionally, the Elks will receive ongoing payments from the authority over a 99-year period to pay for the remainder of the land’s fair market value.

For more information about the new development, go to www.CSUFhomes.org.
