Homestead U acquired two student assets, Parkway and 2818 Student Apartments, at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. This acquisition brings an additional 1,100 plus beds to the student portfolio and brings the total to 3 assets in the College Station market.

Both communities are going through significant upgrades in the units and amenity spaces. To raise awareness in the market, 2818 and Parkway went through a branding facelift. Eve Detter, Lead Graphic Designer for Homestead Companies, oversaw the project and brought on a new yet similar identity. "With the addition of Parkway and 2818, it was an exciting opportunity to leverage our existing Cottage brand to increase brand equity in College Station. By co-branding all three properties, we're able to build upon our solid and well-recognized presence to expand our reach in the student housing market."

The Homestead team also welcomes Jeremy Beck. Jeremy comes with years of experience in the student housing space and has a proven record of increasing NOI in distressed markets.
