What

The Student Housing Council (STHC) offers a forum for leaders in the student housing sector to shape and champion positive and responsible visibility for the student housing component of the commercial real estate industry. The Council focuses on student living both on- and off-campus, in addition to related mixed-use components. Council members include private owners and developers of student housing and university officials with a focus or special interest in housing. The Council also includes a sampling of private equity investors, brokers, lenders, architects and student housing consultants.

This asset class has become a major component of commercial real estate, but there are intricacies and nuances associated with the ownership and operation of these properties that significantly affect the local real estate markets in which they are located.
