The student housing sector continues to gain investor interest and attract new developers. With college enrollment at an all-time high, we can expect positive things in 2016. But what lies beyond that? As students create wish lists for housing needs, what demands are affecting the development and design of housing? Are there any trends that may flow over to the conventional apartment market that we're seeing in student housing communities? Will changes in construction costs affect new development, redevelopment and investor interest in the space and how can developers prepare for or avoid potential delays in construction? Listen as the development experts discuss both the drivers and obstacles that are driving demand.
