Downtown State College is transforming—and at the forefront is a visionary project shaped by those who know Happy Valley best: Penn State alumni.
Introducing The Nittany Residence Club, a luxurious nine-story condominium-hotel now rising at 321 West Beaver Avenue. Designed by Penn Staters, for Penn Staters, this development blends high-end living with deep community roots—and offers a glimpse of the next chapter for one of the most iconic college towns in America.
Premier Location. Modern Living. Exclusive Experience.
The Nittany Residence Club (NRC) offers a rare opportunity: a maintenance-free lifestyle with the convenience of hotel services and the comfort of ownership. With 70 thoughtfully designed one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, including high-end finish packages and fully furnished options, NRC delivers a refined downtown living experience with a first-of-its-kind condominium-hotel designed specifically for State College. Offering a new style of accommodation for Penn State alumni, visiting families, and travelers to Happy Valley, The Nittany Residence Club is set to enhance the vibrancy, convenience, and hospitality of Downtown State College for years to come.
Onsite amenities include:
- On site housekeeping and maintenance
- A private fitness center
- On site covered parking
- 24/7 concierge-style service
- A stylish street-level coffee shop and café
What makes this project truly unique is that owners have the option to take part in a professionally managed hotel rental program—offering a seamless way to offset ownership costs while retaining full personal use of their unit. Each condominium unit is thoughtfully designed with owner privacy at the forefront. In the 2- and 3-bedroom layouts, owners enjoy private primary suites that include a dedicated bedroom, bathroom, closet space, and in-unit washer/dryer. This smart design allows owners to keep personal belongings securely in place while the rest of the unit is available for rental—combining convenience, privacy, flexibility, and a hassle-free way to offset ownership costs through professionally managed nightly stays in one innovative offering.
A Heartfelt Project from Proud Penn State Alumni
The developers behind NRC are more than real estate professionals—they’re alumni with a deep connection to the Penn State community.
“This project isn’t just business—it’s personal,” said one of the partners.
“We built it for people like us: alumni, fans, friends of the university—those who want to stay close to what they love while contributing to the future of downtown.”
That spirit runs through every part of the project—from the partnership with Happy Valley United (the official NIL collective supporting PSU athletes), to the walkable location that ties downtown to campus like never before.
The Heart of Happy Valley
Location is everything, and NRC’s address delivers. Situated on the corner of Beaver and Atherton and just a block from Penn State’s campus, the building is perfectly positioned in the center of it all.
Whether it’s game day, a reunion weekend, or a last-minute escape, the Nittany Residence Club offers effortless access to:
- Penn State’s academic and athletic core
- Downtown dining, nightlife, and culture
- Major highways and regional transportation options
This is the new home base for anyone who wants to stay connected to the pulse of Happy Valley.
Designed for Today—Built for What’s Next
The Nittany Residence Club isn’t just beautiful. It’s strategically located in a federally designated Qualified Opportunity Zone, unlocking powerful long-term advantages for buyers. With its combination of location, lifestyle, and financial sensibility, NRC is more than a place to stay, it’s a place to belong.
A New Chapter for State College
For the business community, the Nittany Residence Club is more than a real estate development. It’s a signal—of renewal, of innovation, and of belief in what’s possible for downtown State College.
With its blend of hospitality, ownership, and Penn State pride, this project stands as a cornerstone of what’s to come.
