Capstone Real Estate Investments (CREI) focuses on acquiring and re-positioning strategically located, off-campus apartment communities which are physically and/or operationally under-performing. Through the use of a value-add renovation program and Capstone's operating expertise, we reposition these properties as attractive, student housing communities. During the process, we look for opportunities to create a more competitive and valuable asset by implementing a host of physical and operational improvements that contribute to a more inviting and vibrant living environment. These improvements often include updated unit interiors, the introduction of new unit and common area amenities, increased unit and building efficiency, and the use of a focused marketing and management strategy that targets students.
