Signet Real Estate Group has announced that construction is underway on a new student housing development, MODA Clemson, near Clemson University in the US.  

The project, located on College Avenue, is a short walk from both downtown Clemson and the university campus.  

The five-storey mixed-use building will offer a variety of residential units and ground-floor retail spaces, catering to the increasing housing demands in the area. 

The development, which has secured its financing, will feature 159 units comprising studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, each with modern amenities.  

The project is a collaboration with several partners. 

These include First National Bank of Pennsylvania and design companies such as Kimley-Horn, Coursey Architects, HPA Design Group, and construction companies, including Freese Johnson & Catamount Constructors. 

Signet has also engaged Pintail Real Estate for the leasing and brokerage of the retail component.  

Signet Real Estate Group senior vice-president Spencer Hyatt said: “We are excited to embark on the next step of this journey to bring MODA Clemson to the heart of the dynamic Clemson community. 

“This project reflects our dedication to creating exceptional living environments that cater to the unique needs of students and young professionals. We are grateful for the support of our esteemed partners who share our vision for excellence through collaboration.” 

Construction is anticipated to be completed by mid-2026. 

The development follows Signet's previous project, Axis at Ansel, which began in 2019 and features 163 units with additional retail space.
