DALLAS-There’s a new student housing firm on the hunt for development and acquisition investment opportunities.

The newly created company, Fountain Residential Partners, was formed by Brent Little, Jonathan Clayton and Trevor Tollett. Together, the principals of Fountain Residential have a combined experience of over 40 years in the student housing industry, having completed in excess of $1 billion worth of student housing developments for JPI, Place Properties and others.

“Student housing has such a great story,” Little says. “When you look at all the major food groups of commercial real estate, multifamily is the strongest, and when you look within multifamily, student housing is performing better than all the rest because more and more parents and students want the living experience to be commensurate with the education experience. As a result, universities are playing catch up.”
