Nearly a decade after it opened its first project in Oklahoma City, Indianapolis-based developer Milhaus has returned with a 276-unit, garden-style property in nearby Edmond, Oklahoma, according to a press release shared with Multifamily Dive.
The newly opened Oxlley Apartments, co-developed with Oklahoma City-based investor Humphreys Capital, is located in Edmond’s historic downtown, offering close proximity to schools, universities, hospitals and major employers in the area. Its design is inspired by Edmond’s industrial origins as a coal and water stop on the Santa Fe Railroad, according to Milhaus.
These details include industrial-inspired fixtures and fluted accent walls, combined with modern geometries and bright white color palettes. The property’s parking garage also features a five-story mural titled “Prairie Crossing” by local artists Hayley Owen and Jesse Owen, depicting local wildlife.
“By blending Edmond's rich past with contemporary style, we've crafted living spaces that honor the town's golden age,” said Kara Clayton, senior regional manager at Milhaus, in the release.
Units at Oxlley range from studios to three-bedroom apartments, and offer open-concept floor plans, large kitchen islands, in-unit laundry and balconies or patios in each unit. Amenities include a pool, a 24-hour fitness studio, electric vehicle charging stations, conference rooms, a dog park and a pet spa.
The site is located across the street from West Hurd Park, providing green space and outdoor activity opportunities, and within walking distance of local restaurants, bars and entertainment venues.
With a median single-family home listing price of $435,000 as of December 2024 — an 8.8% year-over-year increase — the Edmond housing market is increasingly competitive as its population continues to grow, according to Milhaus. The company said Oxlley will bring another housing option to the area.
“The city’s continued growth and revitalization make it the perfect time and place for a thoughtfully designed community like Oxlley to thrive,” Todd Glass, head of real estate investing at Humphreys Capital, said in the release.
