Student Housing

Additionally, there is a pipeline of more than 35,500 beds in various stages of development and acquisition.

In 2020, Core Spaces expanded into the build-to-rent sector, focusing on purpose-built single-family rental homes. The BTR division has rapidly grown with a pipeline of over 8,000 homes in high-growth metropolitan areas across the country.
