MacEwan University is partnering with local developers Qualico Properties and Maclab Development Group to give students a discount on nearby housing close to the university.
Starting in summer 2025, MacEwan’s off-campus housing pilot program will offer student discounts on select downtown rentals allowing them to live near campus, walk to class and explore the heart of Edmonton.
“Improving housing accessibility and affordability takes a creative approach to address the pressures our students are experiencing,” said Dr. Annette Trimbee, president and vice-chancellor of MacEwan University.
Students who are interested in benefiting from this pilot project can do so by contacting the select property owners to learn what units and lease terms are available.
A lease on an eligible unit must be signed before September 1, 2025, to qualify for the discount.
The participating properties with units that are available for discounts are The Switch at 10465 101 Street and The Parks at 10135 108 Street.
