New student housing near Memorial nearing capacity

Three new student apartment buildings near Memorial University are nearing their combined 600-tenant capacity, after having first opened in September 2025. Leasing Manager Chris Cameron told CBC News that two of the buildings are at capacity, while the third is nearly full. A report published in July by Community Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador and Annex Consulting highlighted the low levels of housing stock in the province relative to the national average. While Cameron said that the initial demand was evidence that the project was needed, continued demand beyond the building’s capacity shows that the need goes beyond what was built.
