A New Generation of Student Housing Is Raising the Bar on What It Means to Live Near Campus A new wave of student housing developments from Florida to New York is raising the bar with resort-style amenities, office-inspired collaboration spaces, and content creation studios, signaling a fundamental shift in how the category thinks about the student experience.

The leasing office for MXWL is now open, marking a major step forward for our newest student housing community in Lexington ahead of its Fall 2027 opening.

“MXWL is designed for a new generation of student living—where wellness, community, and productivity are all intentionally integrated. With curated wellness amenities and thoughtfully designed spaces for both focus and connection, the property creates a balanced environment that supports how students live, study, and recharge,” said Katy Moore, Director of Leasing, Gilbane Development.

Located on East Maxwell Street, just steps from the University of Kentucky, MXWL will offer thoughtfully designed residences, amenity-rich spaces, and a living experience that supports both academic success and campus life.
