Brian Dinerstein on Student Housing

HOUSTON-Dinerstein, named one of Real Estate Forum's student housing pioneers, shares insights from a recent interview with the magazine.

By Amy Wolff Sorter | Updated on April 22, 2013

HOUSTON-Brian Dinerstein is a principal at the Dinerstein Cos. and is responsible for generating all new commercial real estate business in the company’s student housing and conventional apartment divisions. He came to the firm with experience working in business development at Internet Capital Group and in the real estate division of Wells Fargo Bank. The Dinerstein Cos. currently has $1.2 billion of assets under development, predominantly in Central Florida, Southern California and Texas. Sterling University Housing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dinerstein Cos., has developed 26,000 student beds in 26 states, with another 4,200 beds underway.

In a recent discussion with Real Estate Forum, Dinerstein says it’s difficult to make blanket statements about the entire student housing market because geographic regions differ. “There are great markets,” he says, “others are challenged. You have to look at the states’ fiscal positions, the schools’ fiscal positions and supply and demand.”
