Waypoint Residential Launches Student Housing Platform

Student housing provides “terrific risk-adjusted opportunities,” Lawlor says.

STAMFORD, CT—Waypoint Residential, which entered the student housing market last year, is now formalizing its presence in the sector with the launch of a new affiliate. Known as Waypoint Campus Housing LLC, the affiliate recently closed on four of the five student housing properties it acquired from Blue Vista Capital Management.

CEO Scott Lawlor of Waypoint Residential, who founded the Stamford, CT-based investment management firm in 2011, calls student housing “one of our key strategies within our core business, which focuses exclusively on the rental housing sector. The addition of student housing aligns with our overall strategy to diversify our product offerings within the rental housing market, and we believe it provides terrific risk-adjusted opportunities.”
