We’ve officially received TCO for Hub Athens—marking a major milestone as we get ready to welcome students to our newest community steps from UGA’s campus. This 460-bed community pairs thoughtful design with next-level amenities—including a rooftop deck with pool and hot tub, wellness spa with hot & cold plunge and sauna, study lounges, and everything else Dawgs need to thrive including a Georgian-style front and rear porch! Delivering on time (and ahead of the curve) is no small feat—and it’s a testament to the dedication, partnership, and precision of every team involved. Big thanks to the architects, contractors, leasing teams, and Core community staff who helped bring this project to life. On to move-ins.

Hub Clemson is on the way. We’ve officially broken ground on our 1,303-bed student housing community just steps from Clemson University. Set along the shores of Lake Hartwell with direct access to Keowee Trail, the seven-story development will feature 394 units across 821,000 square feet, offering a mix of studio to five-bedroom apartments and a series of three‑story townhomes. 20,000 square feet of amenities include a rooftop pool and lounge with 360-degree views of the lake, downtown, and campus. But this is more than housing. It’s a transformative, waterfront urban center experience. We're doubling the active parkland, adding curated retail, and creating a destination for students and the entire Clemson community. We’re proud to be a part of this meaningful placemaking opportunity, opening summer 2027. Big thanks to our partners at Kayne Anderson, Juneau Construction Company and Northworks Architects.
This June, our PRISM employee resource group hosted its annual Lunch & Learn, spotlighting LGBTQIA+ voices from across the company. The panel created space for open dialogue, thoughtful conversations, and shared learning around identity, allyship, and inclusion in the workplace. To close out the month, PRISM members shared their reflections on what Pride means to them. At Core, we believe everyone deserves to bring their full, authentic selves to the spaces they live and work. Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, honor the history of the movement, and amplify voices that deserve to be heard year-round. We’re proud to support a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered. Pride is more than a month — it’s a commitment we carry with us all year long.
Hub Knoxville has officially received Certificate of Occupancy, marking a major milestone in one of the largest student housing developments in the country. When we set out to build a full city block of student living at the steps of the University of Tennessee, we knew we had to get everything right—timing, scale, execution. And we did. Hub Knoxville spans nearly 2,000 beds across three towers and delivers more than 40,000 SF of amenity space, including Knoxville’s first rooftop pool, panoramic views of campus, and a resident experience shaped by hospitality at every touchpoint. Check out this aerial video to see for yourself... it takes nearly 2 minutes to capture the scale of this stunner. Massive thanks to our partners at Schenk Realty Group, Juneau Construction Company, Kayne Anderson, Antunovich Associates and dwell design studio, llc for helping us reach this moment. Phase 1 pre-leasing exceeded expectations. And now—with CO in hand—we’re one step closer to welcoming Vols home. Video courtesy of Juneau Construction Company.
Our 640-bed student housing development on E.

This 16-story community is designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s students with studio to six-bedroom units, elevated design, and amenity spaces that support both academic and social life. It’s a smart bet in a high-demand market, and one we’re proud to bring to life. Big thanks to our partners at TPG Angelo Gordon, TSB Capital Advisors, Power Construction, DCI Engineers, dwell design studio, llc, and to every crew member onsite. Check out our progress so far (photos courtesy of our partners at Paschen Concrete). We’re on track for a May 2026 delivery. Stay tuned, Ann Arbor.
Deal Closed. We’re expanding our footprint near Indiana University with Hub Bloomington Lincoln, a 461-unit, 1,492-bed community in partnership with Harrison Street. This marks one of our largest off-market assemblages to date, bringing together more than 20 parcels across nearly 7 acres. That gives us plenty of room to do what we do best: deliver a next-level living experience for students, complete with 34,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities (including a rooftop pool and basketball court). Construction is underway, and completion is set for Summer 2027. Thanks to our partners at QuadReal Property Group and TSB Capital Advisors on this closing, and Wells and Wells Construction and DLR Group on construction and design. We can’t wait to welcome Hoosiers home.
This Juneteenth, we reflect on a history rooted in resilience, liberation, and the continued fight for equity. We recognize that while progress has been made, the pursuit of justice is far from over. We’re proud to spotlight SHAPE – our Black Employee Network – driven by a mission to empower black team members and allies through community, mentorship, advocacy, and professional development. This week, SHAPE is leading meaningful conversations around the history of Juneteenth, the journey from freedom to legacy, and how each of us can show up as allies every day. We proudly observe this important day, and remain committed to building a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Core.
Deal Closed. We have officially closed on The Nine at Columbia, a 141-unit, 486-bed community adjacent to the University of South Carolina. This marks another strategic addition to our portfolio in a market we know well. Columbia continues to see strong enrollment growth, competitive pre-leasing, and elevated demand for high-quality, high-touch student living. Built in 2021 and boasting a standout renewal rate, this property has already proven its staying power. Big thanks to everyone who helped get this across the finish line.
We asked our team to submit shout-outs to our Maintenance teams and they jumped at the chance to recognize the incredible work our Maintenance professionals do every day. From early mornings to late-night emergencies, these teams are the reason our spaces feel like home. Whether they’re fixing what’s broken or showing up with a smile, their impact is seen, felt, and deeply appreciated by everyone at Core. To every Maintenance Tech, Supervisor, and Porter who keeps our spaces running smoothly—thank you. You make Core shine!
