RDC Student Housing

This exciting new student housing project will see Residence Development Corporation (RDC) continue with popular, successful student housing on Water Street, adding more beds to the community, helping to relieve housing pressures in Peterborough.

Project Updates

The developer (RDC) is in the final stage of approvals with the City of Peterborough for a 320 bed housing project. The site is currently being prepared for the impending construction,  beginning with a retaining wall. Final site plans and information on the construction timelines will be available shortly. Questions can be directed to trentlandsplan@trentu.ca

Continuing a Legacy of High Quality Student Housing

Prioritizing safe, high quality housing for students, the University has leased Trent-owned lands to Residence Development Corporation (RDC), the same company that has successfully owned and carefully managed the current University residences further north on Water Street. RDC will plan, build and operate the housing units, renting suites to upper-year Trent students.
