Bradley Student housing

Student housing demonstrated its resilience in the face of COVID-19 challenges, but what can the industry expect going forward? Timothy S. Bradley, founder, TSB Capital Advisors, and principal, TSB Realty, sat down with Finance Insight to discuss financing and expectations for student housing in the fall of 2021 and beyond. Finance Insight: How was 2020 for TSB? Bradley: We were fortunate. Many observers assumed the student housing industry would be devastated by COVID-19-forced school closures and campus clusters. Instead, thanks in large part to the rational and institutional nature of our major operators, investors and lenders, the industry proved its resiliency once again. We were affected by the pandemic, of course, and had to adjust some of our early year projections, but TSB companies still closed on a total transaction volume of approximately $4 billion, including construction loans, stabilized term loans and interim loans, as well as sales, and joint venture partnership consultations. There will be other challenges our industry faces in the years to come, but it’s difficult to imagine a more challenging singular event than the one we experienced this year with COVID-19. All things considered, we felt very good about 2020, and we’re even more optimistic about 2021. …

Hyatt House

SANDY SPRINGS, GA. — Legacy Ventures has opened Hyatt House Atlanta Perimeter Center located in Sandy Springs’ “Pill Hill” medical district a full two months ahead of schedule. The extended-stay hotel has 186 rooms and seeks to bring hospitality to patients and professionals visiting the area. The Hyatt House’s location benefits from The Simpson Organization’s redevelopment of Peachtree Dunwoody Pavilion, newly renamed Altmore, into a more mixed-use and walkable environment. The development features a pedestrian bridge directly to MARTA’s Medical Center Station, and Simpson also plans to add multifamily housing and a multi-use trail in a later phase of the development. The project team included Bohler, a landscape consultant and tech design services engineering firm based in Warren, N.J., as well as Atlanta-based firms Choate Construction and Cooper Carry. Bohler helped bring the project to completion ahead of schedule by looking beyond design to consider constructability and identifying potential risks and creative solutions. Hyatt House Atlanta Perimeter Center is Legacy Ventures’ fourth ground-up hotel developed in the greater Atlanta area. Ameris Bank provided the construction financing for the project.

The impacts of COVID-19 on the U.S. multifamily market vary significantly across metro areas. Not surprisingly, the nation’s denser gateway markets have been hardest hit, while secondary and tertiary markets have fared better. In a reversal of pre-pandemic trends, suburban locations have gained favor over urban submarkets from both renters and investors. As many employees continue to work from home, larger and more affordable units in suburban submarkets have become more appealing. Elevated construction costs are also a factor, driving garden-style development versus more costly podium construction. The Triangle’s suburban submarkets are experiencing the strongest construction activity, most notably in the North Cary/Morrisville submarket, where 1,784 units averaging over 1,000 square feet per unit are currently underway. As ongoing work-from-home arrangements prompt more tenants to consider living further from the Triangle’s primary employment centers, developers are increasingly willing to look at sites in outlying communities such as Wendell and Clayton. Demand is expected to return to the Triangle’s urban submarkets as employees return to the office and retailers and restaurants fully reopen, but the recovery in these areas is likely to be protracted. Solid footing The Triangle’s multifamily sector ended 2020 on relatively firm footing despite a tumultuous year. Both …
