A six-story student housing structure is being built west of the University of Arizona where three other high rises opened in the last two years.

The Hub at Tucson II joins the other buildings near East Speedway Boulevard and North Park Avenue, including its namesake, The Hub at Tucson, which is owned by the same company.

The building will have 104 apartments and is the latest addition to a student housing boom near campus and downtown.

Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik represents the area and said this should be the last such building in the vicinity although there are additional student housing proposals for downtown Tucson.

Kozachik said he would like to see more renovations of existing properties near the University.

"What's happened is these towers have siphoned off some of the students from the neighborhoods, and the result is we have a bunch of vacant property," Kozachik said.

The Hub at Tucson II is scheduled to open next summer.

Its owners also have properties in Oxford, Miss.; Columbia, S.C.; Madison, Wis.; and Eugene, Ore.
