A Letter of Intent between Nautilus Group and an investment partner was signed on September 28, 2011 for a private student housing project in Berkeley, CA.

Nautilus Group will perform all services for the project including entitlement, design, permitting, financing, construction and leasing. We have already begun conceptual design.

The project, located just 3 blocks south of UC Berkeley, may feature a modular construction system and automated parking similar to the system installed at the 16^th Street, Santa Monica project. The preliminary design contemplates approximately 95,000 square feet of student housing and over 300 beds.

While the design phase of the project is expected to take a bit longer than a conventional ‘sticks & bricks’ type project due to the modular construction design, the construction phase of the project is expected to be delivered in approximately 8 mos. as opposed to 14-18 mos. for conventional construction. To get an idea of what modular construction is, check this out – Modular Construction Example Video. Pretty cool, right? We think so too. Some folks were skeptical when we decided to do a custom, fully automated parking system on our 16th St Project, but we’re happy to report that the system is in the midst of final testing and all is well.

We are also pleased to announce that our Northern California office will open in the San Francisco Bay Area in December of this year. We are continuing to pursue projects in Southern California and a few other select cities. Stay tuned.

A new press article has been published about the 16th St Project in the recent issue of Building & Construction West.
