A trend I've been noticing in Texas is similar to the adaptive reuse trend taking place around the world. However, in Texas, specifically College Station, we don't have as many older buildings that have the quality bare bones necessary to continue this trend. Instead, a lot of the student housing has gone towards more of a theme-based market.
For example, The Factory and The Warehouse were both new constructions built to look like they were old industrial factories and warehouses. One of their best features, that is consistent with this theme, is the exposed brick carried throughout the units.
Another example is Wave Z Islander. This apartment complex was created to give the look and feel of island living in the middle of a rural area. This theme is carried out throughout the entire complex from the island resort themed pool to the furnishings inside each unit.
