Inspired by the vibrant Tucson art scene, the interior of The 818 embraces an “Artifact” concept, encapsulating the essence of found art through surprising and charismatic moments of intrigue. Interactive areas foster a playful and engaging environment, while the use of familiar materials evokes a comforting sense of home; the carefully curated, muted palette pays homage to the iconic stucco homes that define the architectural landscape of Tucson. Reflecting the local context through familiar experiences, colors, and materials, The 818 embraces the campus culture of the University of Arizona, leaning on environmentally friendly features, enhanced security systems, and social programing to help students build community. Hospitality-like amenities cater towards socialization, entertainment, and active studying opportunities. Study rooms, a coffee bar, and the leasing area on the first floor of The 818 establish the entrance lobby as an academic atmosphere, while the TULU micromarket provides easy access to any snack, appliances, or daily essential residents could need. A feature stairway that’s half cushioned seating rises to the second floor, leading directly to a dynamic blend of recreational, academic, and wellness spaces. On the second story, a vibrant club room equipped with a pool table, shuffleboard, and a fully stocked community kitchen seamlessly connects to the expansive outdoor amenity deck, granting access to the sundeck, rooftop pool, game areas, and BBQs that allow residents to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Study areas and a multi-media lounge provide opportunities for both academic and social pursuits, while a fitness area equipped with yoga gear, tanning beds, a cold plunge, and a sauna rounds out the second-level amenity spaces, giving residents at The 818 a wide range of choices to follow their passions and be their best selves. Within the individual units, which range from smaller, independent spaces to larger, shared accommodations, students get to choose the best fit for their academic requirements, budget, and lifestyle. Energy-efficient in-unit appliances like dishwashers, refrigerators, and laundry machines are included alongside furniture, allowing student residents to make the most of their time at The 818 without having to worry about the little things.
