Our investment strategy centers on premium, off-campus housing solutions in the SEC, with our current projects in Oxford, MS (Home of Ole Miss), designed to meet the high demand for quality student living. Our current focus is on townhome condominiums, which offer a streamlined operational model by minimizing outdoor and common area maintenance requirements. Each lease is structured with joint responsibility among student tenants, backed by parent guarantors, ensuring financial reliability and stability. This approach aligns with the priorities of Ole Miss families seeking a secure, comfortable environment that supports their students’ university experience while offering investors a robust and predictable asset class in college markets in the southern US that are fueled by rapid university enrollment growth. We also have a vertically integrated property management company, Collegiate Management Oxford, which is a Finalist in the Best of Oxford for Property Management in 2026.
