We’d have Steve come down in a heartbeat to do another one.

“ Steve is very open-minded, and he worked to make this happen. We’d have Steve come down in a heartbeat to do another one. It wouldn’t be a hard decision for us at all. Steve told us, ‘this is what I’m going to do,’ and did it far beyond what he said he was going to do. ”

The building is very clean and I love living here.

“ As an international student The Heights has been a wonderful place to live in. It’s very diverse and you can meet people from so many different countries. The management is very efficient with maintenance requests and very personable. A lot of fun events are organized monthly. The building is very clean and I love living here. Nilu is one of the best managers that I have ever had! She is very supportive, compassionate and super helpful. She is the source of all the positive energy in the world. The have the best (FREE) hot chocolate in the lobby with 24/7 access. The building is secure with many different cameras and it’s key fob accessed. I feel very safe living here. ”

                                    It was a very important project that most definitely relates to the workforce…                                

“ District 42 was a big deal to us,” said Sioux City Economic Development Director Marty Dougherty. “It was a very important project that most definitely relates to the workforce, and Steve made it really cool, too. ”

                                    We want to get them back here so they can see what we’ve got. District 29 is one of those places.                                

“ We didn’t have any new multi-residential units with the amenities people are looking for today. We have a lot of stuff going on here. We want to get them back here so they can see what we’ve got. District 29 is one of those places… The biggest complaint we hear from companies is that people come here and they want something with the amenities they’re looking for. They want something new. District 29 is perfect. ”

From a local level, they’re just very professional.

“ The quality of their work is amazing and you see that in all of their projects in other communities…The curb appeal they put into these projects is top-end. Their team is great to work with. From a local level, they’re just very professional. For Sheldon, it’s a game-changer. ”

He brought some desperately-needed housing to the community

“ We couldn’t get a developer interested in coming in and helping us until Steve showed interest and came in and built Wheatgrass Village. We consider Steve a very, very important part of our success here in Huron because he brought some desperately-needed housing to the community…We’re extremely happy. Everything Steve said he was going to do, he did. ”

I love living at The Heights!

“ When finding a place to live off-campus, the biggest challenge was finding a place my parents liked just as much as I did. The big selling point for them was that the building is key fob entry only, so only residents have access to the building. They also loved that there is on call staff 24/7, as well as a security guard on the weekends. They always know I am safe in my apartment. For me, I love The Heights because it is fully furnished, pet friendly, and the resident events are always super fun. The value of all the free amenities, resident events & not having to buy new furniture makes the price beyond worth it. I love living at The Heights! ”
