Student housing strong despite huge new supply
Student-housing properties are fully occupied and delivering solid rent growth for this school year after a surge of development over the last two years that delivered 110,800 new beds, according to Axiometrics statistics. It was unclear whether all of these beds would be filled, but Axiometrics expects occupancy to end up around 96% for September — an improvement from 94.4% in August 2014, according to Taylor Gunn, student-housing analytics lead.
