Details

Southern California is home to some of the nation's most important universities and education systems. As an epicenter of culture and business, the region has made itself a desire able location to build an educational foundation and start a career.

While SoCal continues to grow as a world-renowned residential, business and educational hub, its housing supply is greatly impacted. Availability of both market rate and affordable housing is impacting all residents, and students are not excluded. Recent data finds that 1 in 5 LA students are homeless.

Though availability of product is a large part of the conversation, within new and existing student housing, the market is continuously being impacted by economic and demographic shifts. As Gen Z has fully infiltrated the undergraduate population, they are making more of a significant impact than ever on student housing development.

With so much going on in the student housing market, join us as we take an expert look at the trends impacting the space.

What You'll Learn:
• How are universities responding to Southern California's affordability crisis?
• Gen Z... How different are they actually from millennials, and how are they impacting student housing?
• How are universities and developers future-proofing their student housing developments?
• What creative strategies are universities taking to produce housing in markets known for lack of supply?
• What investment trends are impacting SoCal student housing development?
