The Asters
101 Discovery Blvd // Newark DE

BPGS Construction is partnering with the Buccini Pollin Group and the University of Delaware to deliver The Asters, a $75 million, 235,000 SF multi-family community located at 101 Discovery Boulevard. As the first residential development on UD’s 272-acre Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus, the seven-story project is transforming the former Chrysler assembly plant site into a vibrant, well-connected hub to live, work, and innovate. The project builds on BPGS’s long-standing partnership with the university, following its previous construction of the University Bookstore and Bloom Energy—the initial building on the STAR Campus.

  • 229 Market-Rate Residences: Features studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts ranging from 600 to 1,100 SF with quartz countertops, subway tile backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, oversized windows, in-unit laundry, and private balconies in select units.

  • Dual-Building Architectural Design: Spans two seven-story structures connected by a glass skybridge, designed by DIGSAU to frame a private landscaped courtyard.

  • Comprehensive Community Amenities: Includes a resort-style outdoor pool, grilling and dining areas, pickleball court, fenced dog run, indoor half-court basketball area, fitness center with boxing and yoga spaces, and a resident lounge with an entertainment kitchen and game room.

  • On-Site Infrastructure & Commuter Access: Provides 231 dedicated parking spaces and bike storage, offering direct access to STAR Campus research facilities, the Newark Train Station, and regional employment hubs.

  • BPGS previously delivered the University Bookstore and Bloom Energy, the first building on the STAR Campus.
