Midwestern University, a long-standing client with Chanen Construction, a Dick Anderson Construction Company, announced big news in May 2025: a $95 million investment in a new 256-unit student housing complex on its Glendale, AZ campus. This is the sixth phase of residential development since the campus opened in 1995. 

The project, developed by Chanen/DAC, aims to address a persistent waitlist of 500–600 students and is expected to be completed in spring 2026.

The university contributes a combined $1.2 billion annually to local economies in Illinois and Arizona.
