Unique selling points

Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Midtown Atlanta is well renowned ‘tier-1’ university with 32,723 students. The university has a consistently high ‘ranking’ and has grown significantly from the 29.370 students in 2017.

The development of 187 apartments with 532 student rooms will directly be on the westside of the university campus. The western part of Atlanta develops quickly with the addition of many restaurants and bars.

The complex has a broad mix of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-rooms with efficiently designed individual rooms and, for a project in the middle of a big city, an attractive parking ratio of 0,4 per room.

The projected rent level of The Edge at GT is around 15% lower than comparable rooms at the eastside of the university, which makes The Edge at GT a good and affordable alternative for students of Georgia Tech.

The equity will only be utilized if all milestones in the pre-development are reached.

Campus Realty and her managers have an extensive experience in developent, acquisition and management of student housing.
