“Our Development Approach”
We leverage decades of urban and university planning experience to design and develop vibrant campus ecosystems that benefit their students, their faculty, and their own bottom lines.
This strategy strengthens every aspect of a higher education environment while delivering attractive returns.
OUR MIXED-USE STRATEGY
Student housing facilities address the shortage of available beds
Millions of qualified college applicants are rejected each year due to lack of beds on campus. Our long-term investment horizon, mixed-use planning, and advantageous financing enable facilities to be constructed faster and at lower cost than what universities can achieve on their own.
Commercial facilities enhance campus environment and atmosphere
Dynamic learning environments—including mixed-use campuses—have been shown to improve happiness and success among students. Commercial facilities also help finance dormitories, ensuring attractive commercial returns for investors and affordability for students.
Academic facilities address the shortage of available classroom seats
Classrooms across Africa are over crowded and often poorly maintained. We provide a private-market solution for universities to expand classroom infrastructure to ensure that new facilities are built to last, properly maintained, and capable of accommodating burgeoning demand.
