100 Depot Street is a 9-unit, 26,700 SF multifamily housing development located at the edge of the University of Mississippi Campus at the junction between Jackson Avenue, Depot Street, and the Depot Trail. The historic Oxford Train Depot, located to the south of the project site, was one of the main arrival and departure locations for many travelers to Oxford and the University from 1857 to 1941. The project owner’s ambition is to develop a new housing building that will return activity, energy, and meaningfulness to this site once more by making a vibrant social, living space for the citizens of Oxford.
The building features a lively, terracotta shingle, rain screen wall system with large, sheltered window openings to the apartment interiors. A three-story bay window frames the view to the Historic Oxford Square while acting as a terminus to the view when traveling west from the Square toward campus. Each unit features generous balconies with operable louvered panels that shelter the interior from Mississippi’s harsh summer sun. The Apartments feature-loft like interiors to accommodate different family types and provide ample space for entertaining with stunning views of the city and campus.
