SALISBURY, MD---久久国产精品久久 and the Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO) have selected COCM (Capstone On-Campus Management), a Birmingham, AL-based student housing firm, to manage University Park Apartments (UPA).
COCM assumed management of the community in March of 2020. The firm will provide full turn-key management services for the project, with SU supporting the leasing efforts by promoting UPA as an option for its second-year students.

UPA consists of garden-style apartments, with primarily four-bedroom/two-bathroom and two-bedroom/two-bathroom units for a total of 890 beds.

Amenities include community lounges, spacious units, a fitness center, grilling areas, a sparkling pool, computer labs, printing stations and a sand volleyball court.
COCM is working with MEDCO and the University to improve the resident experience by developing and implementing a comprehensive capital improvement plan to improve building systems and interior finishes, ensuring the long-term viability and success of the community.
"We look forward to the upgrades COCM is planning, and I think our students will be pleased with them, as well," said Foust.
