Given the price point, I thought the exterior would be a bit nicer.

The audacity of the hoarding to say "the crown jewel of the university district" and then cut to these.

The units are priced pretty crazy too, most close to and over $1M. Then to get something with no brick or any design and look like University residences is pretty funny. UD is selling well and I think developer have started to cheap out on the materials. See the change from Brookfield/Truman's early build to the new stuff now.

This is probably the first time I seen a project end up with windows larger than what was presented in the renderings..... AND YET..... SOMEHOW!!... IT'S STILL WORSE THAN THE RENDERS!!!!!!

I wouldn’t call Magna the ‘crown jewel’ but none of the UD buildings are architectural gems. The buildings are solid with some being above average, but it’s the collection of them and the overall neighborhood design, especially the Avenue that make U/D a success. The sum is much better than the parts.

Crown Jewel sounds kinda pretentious, but you could make a case that it’s the best development in the district.
A decent amount of brick, a fair amount of stucco, which is nicer than hardy board IMO. It also has large windows and glass balconies. To top it off, it’s the only low rise building made of concrete, which alone puts it above all the other low rise buildings.
If you were purchasing in University District, this would be a decent option.
