Student Housing Developers Learn to Build More Product With Fewer Resources

by Katie Sloan

High interest rates and stubborn inflation have somewhat hindered the days of excess — for both student housing developers and their residents. Yet, the need for more student housing units continues. Student accommodations booking platform Amber notes that the 175 largest U.S. universities can only provide housing for 22 percent of their undergraduates. New deliveries have also slowed, with the average annual number of new bed deliveries coming in at 33,700 between 2021 and 2023. The average number of beds delivered annually between 2013 and 2020 was 56,200, according to JLL Capital Markets.  This has led some colleges and universities to get creative when housing is scarce and development is not only cost consuming, but time consuming.  “In some cases, universities lease all or a portion of our neighboring communities when they need more housing inventory than presently available on campus,” says James Wilhelm, chief development officer at American Campus Communities (ACC). “In addition, some universities have approached us to purchase our off-campus assets to grow and expand their upper-division student housing offerings. The purchase of our communities is generally fueled by a desire to add beds on an expedited timeline at a fraction of the cost of new construction.” …

How to Motivate Employees Back to the Office in California’s South Coast

by Jeff Shaw

— By Nellie Day — Employers all over the nation are looking for ways to bring employees back into the office. In many cases, it’s been a large ask, as employees have adapted to the work-from-home environment and its perceived perks.  One of the biggest strategies employers have undertaken is creating an enticing environment where employees want to be. This can include intriguing office spaces, useful amenities, opportunities for socializing and beautiful outdoor spaces. This strategy can go even further when local businesses and municipalities work together. Such is the case with South Coast Metro Alliance, a non-profit corporation of Orange County, Calif.-based property owners and major businesses that have a long-term investment in the area through ownership and/or long-term leases. The economic development organization, which encompasses north Costa Mesa and south Santa Ana, has worked to ensure employers are proud of the spaces they can offer their employees — and that, in turn, employees are excited to return to the office.  WREB spoke to Diane Pritchett, executive director of the South Coast Metro Alliance, to discuss the specific strategies employed by businesses and the South Coast Metro Alliance to reactive the local office environment. WREB: How has the introduction …
