Prioritizing safe, high-quality housing for students, the University has leased Trent-owned lands to Residence Development Corporation (RDC) to plan, build, and operate housing units on Water Street just south of campus, renting suites to upper-year students.
RDC is the same company that has successfully owned and carefully managed the current University residences further north on Water Street.
This exciting new student housing project will add 320 beds to the community, helping to address housing pressures in Peterborough.

Development Features
Built close to the Symons Campus, the new student housing development features:
- 3-storey, suite-style housing dedicated for upper year Trent University students, featuring modern amenities and comfortable living spaces
- Same beautiful aesthetic townhouse design as current University residences along Water Street
- Built on 4 acre site currently zoned for residential and confirmed through Trent Lands Plan studies to have no significant natural or cultural features

Project Status
The developer (RDC) is in the final stage of approvals with the City of Peterborough. The site is currently being prepared for impending construction, beginning with a retaining wall. Final site plans and information on the construction timelines will be available shortly.
