A transformational development located adjacent to the University of Louisville’s Belknap campus, Cardinal Center maximizes the best of the town and gown model, blending urban amenities with an ideal location and a high-quality experience. With 180 apartments for students and young professionals, an urban grocery store/office building, and a luxury boutique hotel organized around a central elevated plaza, the development’s concept maximizes the site by consolidating all parking to the interior of the site while maintaining the pedestrian experience—the streetscape —along the perimeter. Dotted with retail spaces at the corners, urban-scale staircases, and outdoor patios throughout, the project focuses on creating a place that both integrates itself into the local surroundings while offering an authentic combination of everything you might need when living next to or visiting the campus.
