Core Spaces

Camp Core is back.

Last week, we welcomed our 2026 Campers, kicking off a summer built on real work, real mentorship, and real exposure from day one.

Our 32 interns will step directly into how our business operates, working alongside our teams, connecting with leadership, and contributing to challenges that mirror our day-to-day work.

Programs like this go beyond a summer internship. They’re about investing in people, building future leaders, and creating a pipeline of talent that will help shape what’s next for Core.

Looking forward to what this group will bring.

We’ve officially topped out at ōLiv Broom, our fifth and largest development near UW Madison, set to deliver in 2027. 
 
Located just east of campus, ōLiv Broom will deliver 474 units and 1,730 beds ranging from studios to five-bedroom apartments and duplex townhomes. 
 
Nearly 26,000 square feet of interior amenity space round out the living experience with a premier fitness center and spa, co-working spaces, New Here Coffee and pet services. An 11,000 square foot amenity roof deck with a resort-style rooftop pool, hot tub, and lounge seating takes this to the next level.

We’re bringing 3,500+ new student housing beds to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. 
 
That momentum is already underway. In fall 2025, we broke ground on Hub Champaign Green Street, a 490‑unit, 1,577‑bed student housing community, set to deliver in 2028, with additional purpose-built Hub on Campus communities planned along the iconic Green Street corridor following in 2029 through 2031.
 
From our founders’ roots at U of I to the multiple communities we own and operate in the market today; Champaign has always been part of our story. 
 
As we grow, our commitment stays the same: adding smart supply, elevating design, and delivering experiences that add value to both students and the broader community.

We’ve closed our latest flagship development fund at a groundbreaking $1.64B.

A huge milestone, and we’re just getting started.

We’re proud to share that Oxenfree Princeton has been named a 2026 Hospitality Design | HD Expo Award Winner in the Amenity Space category.

The HD Awards recognize the year’s most innovative design achievements from around the world, and we’re honored to be named alongside some of the best in hospitality.

This recognition reflects our design ethos and hospitality-forward vision for Oxenfree and is a testament to the creative thinking and strong partnerships that brought this project to life.

Thank you to Hospitality Design | HD Expo for the honor, and to all our partners who made it possible: Studio K Creative, Northworks Architects, Treehouse Builders, and Anthony Tahlier.

Congratulations to all the 2026 HD Award winners. Check out the full list in our bio!

At Core, we’re building mental health support into how we care for our teams and residents, because stronger people build stronger communities. 
 
We’re proud to partner with organizations that share this commitment and help expand access to meaningful support and resources: 
•
•
•
•
• College Student Mental Wellness Advocacy Coalition 
 
When mental wellness comes first, everyone wins.

We’re just under a week out from Camp Out for Kids All-Star Annual Fundraiser, an inspiring night that brings supporters, partners, and friends together to celebrate campers, champion the mission and push impact forward.

Founded in 2008, Camp Out for Kids (COFK) was created to ensure every child has access to the life-changing experience of summer camp. By removing financial barriers, COFK continues to help kids build confidence, independence, and lasting skills that extend well beyond the summer.

Last year, nearly 1,900 campers experienced everything from outdoor adventure to science, arts, and sports, made possible by a community that believes access matters. This year, we’re ready to do even more.

If you’re in Chicago, we’d love to see you on April 30th. If you’re supporting afar, you can still be part of the impact.

All-Star Fundraiser tickets & the link to donate are in our bio!

Together, we can help even more kids experience the joy, growth, and belonging that summer camp makes possible.

This Earth Day, we’re proud to spotlight a meaningful renewable energy milestone.

At The Rive San Diego, we recently completed 1.5-megawatt solar installation across the building rooftop and parking deck, an investment that strengthens energy resiliency, reduces grid dependency, and helps residents lower their energy costs.

• The rooftop solar system produces enough energy to offset roughly 80% of the electrical usage for the building’s common areas.
• The parking deck installation is modeled to offset 92% of resident electrical usage.
• Through solar installation, residents will receive a 10% discount on their energy bill.
• Residents who park on the top level of the garage also benefit from covered parking provided by the solar canopy.

The energy production the system yields is equivalent to:
• Planting 14,009 trees
• Taking 84 trips around the Earth’s equator
• Driving 2.1 million miles on sunshine

This project reflects how our Energy & Efficiency platform guides decisions across our student housing and build‑to‑rent portfolios, linking environmental and social responsibility with long‑term performance.

Driving impact at scale isn’t always easy, but it’s a Core standard we’re proud to uphold.

How our spaces feel matters just as much as how they function.

Guided by a hospitality mindset, our communities blend form and function with intention, reflect a true sense of place, and are designed to help residents thrive. Each one has a distinct point of view.

We’re proud to share that three of our communities have been named finalists for the 2026 HD Awards, presented by Hospitality Design | HD Expo

Hub on Campus Tucson – Student Housing Finalist

Hub on Campus Knoxville – Student Housing Finalist

Oxenfree Princeton – Amenity Space Finalist

Led by our talented in-house design team, we’re grateful to collaborate with exceptional partners to bring these communities to life.

Student housing and multifamily design have evolved, and today the creativity and intentionality rival that of boutique hospitality. We’re proud to see these projects (and these sectors) recognized alongside leading hospitality brands.

Thank you to Hospitality Design | HD Expo for the recognition, and congrats to all the 2026 finalists.
