1. Campus Crest’s approach to student housing
Campus Crest is structured on a vertically integrated platform that includes development, construction, real
estate management, and asset management. This operating platform allows us to control asset quality, reduce
cost, increase delivery speed, improve operating efficiency, and ultimately, drive value for stakeholders.
“Our approach to student housing looks like none other,” said
Ted Rollins, chief executive officer of Campus Crest
Communities.
Vertical integration has made it possible for us to implement
prototype construction, where repetition of product has
resulted in smarter construction, consistent operational
practices, and a hospitality brand model across the portfolio.
“Our construction strategy includes repetition and refinement
of prototype, a captive general contractor and construction manager, and captive wholesale supply that
results in a 15-20% cost savings, giving Campus Crest a strong market advantage,” said Rollins.
