INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Zach Feldman. Zach breaks down the nuances of student housing, from renting by the bed with parental guarantors to achieving near full occupancy by pre-leasing a year in advance, and explains why location and university enrollment trends are critical to success. He shares how top operators differentiate through hospitality-driven design, health and wellness amenities, and hyper-targeted market selection as construction costs rise and viable development markets shrink. The conversation also explores how shifting enrollment patterns, school branding, and strong athletic programs can fuel demand, making student housing a defensible and potentially high-performing niche for passive investors.
