Toll Brothers Opens The 87 Off-Campus Housing

SOUTH BEND, IN -- Toll Brothers Campus Living with joint venture partner HSRE, has opened The 87, a new off-campus apartment community, featuring 335 apartments and townhomes with 810 beds in South Bend, IN.

The community is located near the campuses of the University of Notre Dame, Holy Cross College, and St. Mary’s College and was financed with a $91 million construction loan from Centier Bank. Construction commenced in September 2022 and first occupancy began in August 2024.

“The 87 offers today’s students a living experience that blends upscale design, luxury amenities, and modern conveniences,” said Richard Keyser, Vice President of Acquisitions and Development for Toll Brothers Campus Living. “We’re delighted to open The 87, which represents our continued commitment to developing student communities that combine the flexibility of off-campus living with proximity to campus life at growing and prestigious colleges and universities.”

Designed by KTGY, The 87 features a mix of studio through four-bedroom apartments, along with townhomes. Each residence is fully furnished with modern furniture, 55” smart TVs, and en-suite private bathrooms for every bedroom.

The upscale features include stainless steel appliances, in-residence washers and dryers, modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, and keyless entry. Select residences also feature oversized closets and kitchen islands. Garage parking is also available.

Rooted in tradition but dedicated to engaging today’s forward-thinking students, The 87’s amenities are designed to nurture academic success and foster connections. Students can work in tech-enabled study lounges with private seating options, meet with friends at the social lounge and coffee bar, and flex their creative muscles in the content creation studio.

Sports enthusiasts can catch a game in the All Pro Lounge, with four large-screen TVs, and then hone their skills in the golf and sports simulator.

The 2,300 square-foot double-height fitness center features strength and cardio equipment. Outside, residents can enjoy multiple courtyards with grills, fire pits, yard games, and hammocks. The community honors the legacy of the nearby University of Notre Dame by incorporating vintage photos and memorabilia throughout the interiors.

“Toll Brothers Campus Living brings the signature quality of design, luxury, and service that Toll Brothers is known for to modern student communities,” said John McCullough, President of Toll Brothers Apartment Living, the multifamily division of Toll Brothers which oversees its Campus Living division. “The 87 brings an elevated approach to student life to South Bend, supporting a well-rounded collegiate lifestyle with the spaces and amenities needed to thrive socially and academically.”

The 87 adds to Toll Brothers Campus Living’s growing portfolio, which includes The Yards at Old State at The Pennsylvania State University; Lapis at Florida International University; and Kinetic at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

In addition, the company previously developed Canvas at Arizona State University, which sold in 2023, and Terrapin Row at the University of Maryland, which sold in 2017. For more information about The 87, visit Livethe87.com.
