About

We’re reinventing purpose-built student housing and build-to-rent homes.

Core Spaces is a vertically integrated ecosystem focused on building, buying, and managing student housing and build-to-rent communities. From new developments to acquisitions, everything we do stems from a culture of innovation and the drive to constantly improve the resident experience.

To create a better life for everyone under our roof.

Mission

To build a hospitality-minded ecosystem that drives growth for all stakeholders.

Strategy

To be the most iconic owner of real estate whose competitive advantage is a culture of innovation and the resident experience.

A Brief(ish) History of Core

To understand who we are today, you need to understand how we got here. Core started as a dream shared by three guys with very different backgrounds. This is the story of how we made it real and created one of the industry’s most pioneering companies.
More on our history

A culture of let’s go!

We’ve known from day one that great innovations can come from anywhere. That’s why our culture empowers everyone to go after never-been-done ideas. To make them real or fall short trying, and learn from both. It’s how we revolutionized student housing and why there’s no limit to what we can do next.

More on our culture

We make magic between the lines.

We’re organized in Divisions, each filled with talented industry specialists playing to their strengths. But we get next-level results by building bridges, not silos. That means sharing ideas with the right people at the right time, and staying focused on what matters most: Creating experiences that thrill residents.
