Just weeks before fall semester, iGlobal Live hosted a live panel discussion on The Future of Student Housing Amidst COVID-19, which will be available to download soon.
The sector is proving remarkably resilient, despite a recession and universities often adopting hybrid models that incorporate online learning. Yet it is clear the sector has changed, possibly for years to come.
What will this mean for international and domestic investment in the student housing asset class? What about for public private partnerships and underwriters?And will Covid-19 put an end to the sector’s cyclical nature?
Is Student Housing a “safe” investment right now, or a growth market? If it’s growing, where in the US should future development be, and for how long could a growth period last?
Asset management was the immediate story, as new sanitation, staff scheduling and cash flow alterations were required. What are longer term repercussions for operations and design?
Universities and student housing professionals have shown they can work very well together. Are there new ways they can further collaborate and better serve emerging student requirements?
Patrick Flaherty is Senior Vice President in Blue Vista Capital Management’s student housing division, responsible for the analysis, asset management, acquisition, and execution of investment strategies for Blue Vista Capital Management’s student housing properties in United States and Canada.
