Student Housing

Beth Pinder has been named to lead CA Management Services, which will oversee operations across the real estate investment company's student and residential housing portfolios.

While housing shortages continue in both conventional apartments as well as student housing throughout Northern California, Greystar is focused on providing new housing in the right locations.

"Patient, flexible, risk-tolerant capital can fill a gap in the financing marketplace, help revitalize neighborhoods, and create opportunities for individuals and families to improve their lives,” says Benefit Chicago executive director Dr. William W. Towns.

When completed, Liv+ Gainesville will be a four-story, 279,075 square foot apartment style student housing complex.

EnTrust says it locked-in a long-term lease at a 27% reduction in rent on a per square foot basis and negotiated a gross free rent abatement period.

The project will be located on the southeast edge of the SF State campus and is expected to be completed in 2020. The 584-bed, mixed-use community will feature fully furnished apartment-style units with private and shared accommodations.

This is the largest ever single-asset student trade in the United States.

This cycle, there has been major consolidation in student housing ownership across the country, and it has created a perfect storm for the market.
