Asset Description
Muse Omaha is the market’s newest student housing community in the bustling downtown area of Omaha, Nebraska. Delivered in 2019 with 247 units and 371 beds, the Property is located within a 5-minute walk from academic buildings at Creighton University and within one mile from the center of downtown Omaha. Of the limited number of purpose-built student housing assets surrounding Creighton University, Muse Omaha is the closest community to academic buildings in the market.
Location alone would make Muse Omaha the market’s most popular asset, but the communal and in-unit amenities assure that status in perpetuity. Designed with the next generation of renters in mind, the Property offers its tenants a 24/7 clubhouse, dedicated study lounges with private study areas, outdoor study spaces and hangout areas, bike storage, a fitness center, shuffleboard, bocce ball and ping pong, property-wide highspeed Wi-Fi, and more. Luxurious in-unit amenities include fully furnished apartments, in-unit washer/dryers, hardwood flooring, quartz countertops, and contemporary lighting. Coupled together, the unbeatable location and expansive property features will enable a new investor to push Muse Omaha’s returns long into the future.
