Members of Christian Campus House became homeless when developers bought the off-campus student organization's lot the day before Christmas Eve.
The company is using the space to build a parking garage.
Since then, the members of Christian Campus House congregate on UF's Plaza of the Americas weekly to play volleyball and hang out with friends.
Christian Campus House sold its land to the north of University Avenue to RLR1 LLC, the Ohio-based executive group building The Stadium Club.
The eight-story apartment complex is on the corner of Fletcher Drive and University Avenue.
The company plans to use the plot to build a six-story parking garage to complement its complex.
With their building sold in December and razed in April, members of the Christian Campus House have been forced to adapt.
Kelly Adams, a psychology junior and president of the organization, said the group has grown by about 15 people in the last semester to its current count of about 35 members.
In addition to the $700,000 sale of Christian Campus House's lot, the owners of The Stadium Club donated enough money for the organization to build a new center and a plot of land to build on at 1808 NW First Ave.
Construction of the new center is scheduled to be finished by summer 2012, Adams said.
Representatives of the company did not return phone calls for comment by press time.
Campus minister Bob Gailey said he couldn't divulge donation amounts but said the tax-deductible donation was a generous gift to the organization.
"That's huge," he said. "And the only way it can be explained is there are people out there with good hearts."
The owners of The Stadium Club plan to fill its apartment complex with retail space on the first two floors, office space on the third and fourth floors and residential apartments on the fifth through eighth floors.
The parking garage is expected to have ground-floor retail space.
The plan hinges on city approval.
To get approval to have office space, the company must get approval from a city board in late September. To build the parking garage, the company must get approval from a different board in mid-October.
The owners of The Stadium Club on University Avenue bought the Christian Campus Club's original lot. With the help of donations, the club is building a new center.
