YEARS OF STUDENT HOUSING EXPERIENCE
Student housing operators make the best consultants. Backed by 15 years of operational expertise, Campus Advantage’s consulting services benefit new entrants to the student housing market and experienced owners, developers and lenders, alike. Going beyond the empirical data — we eat, sleep and breathe student housing, and bring that experience to every consulting project.
OUR SERVICES
Student housing consulting services may be customized to meet your needs. Our most popular consulting studies include:
Market Analysis and Project Feasibility
Have a site identified for a proposed student housing development?
For those new to student housing or experienced developers seeking third-party confirmation for a lender, your study includes a market assessment and site-specific analysis, plus primary research and interviews with the student population at your target campus to determine project feasibility. Your final report includes a recommended unit mix, rental rates, amenity suggestions, feedback from students, and an experience-informed operating budget created from historical data from over 175 properties.
Operational Assessment
Own an underperforming student housing property?
For owners, lenders, and colleges or universities losing students to alternate housing sources, missing occupancy or revenue goals, or experiencing challenges with retaining staff, your operational assessment includes an in-depth analysis of your operating budget, staffing plan, residence life programming, and marketing – including a review of competitive properties – to identify the operational changes that will best address your property’s current market position.
Due Diligence
Considering acquiring a student housing asset?
Whether you’re a first-time buyer of student housing or simply don’t have the available resources to conduct thorough due diligence, our assessment will confirm the existing and future rent rolls, identify priority capital investments, evaluate rental rates, and recommend the operational adjustments needed to meet or exceed your anticipated return.
