Understandably, commercial real estate investors pressed pause at the beginning of last year, as there was no way to know what this global pandemic meant for property performance. However, with steady collections for student housing throughout the year, confidence quickly regained.  Towards the end of last year, occupancy was just shy of 90 percent and nimble investors who took notice started to pursue the available menu of opportunities. While data will show that COVID-19 had a clear impact on student housing operations, the level of disruption was limited. In fact, according to Berkadia research, sales during the fourth quarter accounted for more than half of 2020’s total transactions and dollar volume for student housing — further proving the overall resiliency of the industry.  Strong Out of the Gate in 2021 In addition to ending 2020 on a strong note, only a few months into 2021, we have already seen the student housing market show greater strength. In fact, in the first few weeks of January alone, our student housing-specialized team at Berkadia completed nearly $250 million in the …
