To evaluate return on investment, our consulting studies address student housing feasibility, research market demand, assess operations at existing student housing communities, evaluate acquisition opportunities through a due diligence process, and more.

Developers

We help you deliver purpose-built student housing with maximized rental and occupancy through market analysis and feasibility studies, design and development consulting, initial marketing and lease-up services, and ongoing management.

Working with colleges, universities, and their foundations as consultants and management partners, we develop tailored platforms specific to the needs of the campus and student base, to create an atmosphere where students can thrive academically, personally, and professionally.

“The management selection process for Skyloft was very competitive, as we knew we needed to align with a partner that could deliver results for such an iconic development in a very competitive market. Campus Advantage and their marketing partner, Catalyst, designed an innovative brand that set Skyloft apart from the other competitors in the marketplace, and their integrated digital marketing strategy kept Skyloft leading the market throughout the lease-up. The branding and marketing campaigns coupled with the hard work of the site team resulted in Skyloft opening at 100% occupancy with much praise from the student housing industry. Campus Advantage proved to be an invaluable partner for our first high-rise student housing development.”

 

Mike Walden, JE Dunn

“Since partnering with Campus Advantage’s management team in 2016, we have seen substantial improvements in the financial performance of Launch. The Campus Advantage team customized their operating platform to fit our asset which targets a combination of multi-family, young professional, and student renters. Through increased residence life programming coupled with strategic marketing campaigns to sell the property improvements, the property was able to achieve 100% occupancy in 2017 and 2018. We were also able to renew over 55% of residents and grow rents 8%; a true testament to residents’ satisfaction under Campus Advantage’s customized programming model. Our relationship with Campus Advantage has been invaluable and a driving force behind the recent success of our investment.”
