Student Housing is one of the most active and healthy niche markets in commercial real estate today. College and university applications continue to increase, a trend that may actually be enhanced by the economic downturn, which makes it harder to get a job and increases the premium on education. All of these students need a place to live and many increasingly look to private student housing operators, making student housing a recession-resistant, if not recession-proof, property type.
France Publications, publishers of ten commercial real estate magazines across the country, and its InterFace Conference Group will bring together leading on- and off-campus student housing investors and developers as well as a myriad of financing sources to discuss the state of the student housing industry as it relates to opportunities to build or buy projects off-campus as well as engage in public-private partnerships with colleges and universities on-campus. This one-day networking conference, which will include a reception the evening prior to the event, will also serve to [re]introduce the student housing industry to Wall Street and the institutional investment community as both a niche asset class and strong investment and financing opportunity.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Owners/investors/developers
Financial intermediaries and lenders
College and university housing officials and officers
Investment sales brokers
Attorneys, architects and construction professionals
Vendors and suppliers to student housing companies and projects
