Deal Closed. We’ve officially planted our flag in Austin, Texas with the acquisition of Villas on 24th — a newly completed, 670-bed student housing community in the heart of UT Austin’s West Campus. Villas on 24th is a best-in-class, boutique-style asset with a mix of studio through six-bedroom floor plans and next-level amenities including a rooftop infinity pool, a fully-enclosed rooftop basketball court, and stunning panoramic views of downtown Austin and UT campus. Villas on 24th was recently delivered this summer and is 100% pre-leased for the 2025–26 academic year. We’re proud to add this A+ asset to our portfolio and can’t wait to welcome our first residents home this month. We appreciate the collaboration with Villas Student Housing who developed this incredible asset and with TSB Capital Advisors who secured the financing. #CoreSpaces #StudentHousing #Acquisition #UTAustin

A Milestone Moment. This week, we teamed up with the City of Columbia SC and Richland County Government to officially celebrate ōLiv Columbia, our latest mixed-use community coming to 1401 Main Street. Alongside Mayor Rickenmann and local officials, our Chief Development Officer, Chad Matesi, shared what this project means for the future of Columbia’s downtown: a bold step toward a more dynamic, walkable city center. We welcomed local artist Ija Charles — whose vibrant mural on the current building will be preserved in our development — for a live painting that represents growth, evolution, and hope for a bright future. ōLiv Columbia will bring 720 market-rate and student apartments across two towers, 2,350 total beds, plus ground-floor retail activating Main St. and a 1,600-stall parking garage. We're proud of this placemaking moment in Columbia, and we thank the City of Columbia, Richland County, and the Main Street District for their continued partnership, and our partners at Juneau Construction Company and dwell design studio, llc for helping bring this vision to life. Construction kicks off in fall 2025, and we look forward to welcoming residents in 2028. #ōLivColumbia #CoreSpaces #NewDevelopment #StudentHousing #MixedUseDevelopment #ColumbiaSC

Here’s to the next generation of real estate leaders. As our internship program, Camp Core 2025 wraps, we want to send a massive thank you to our incredible interns for an unforgettable summer. From development and acquisitions to marketing, investments, and operations our interns showed up with curiosity and fresh perspectives. Through many workshops, dozens of cross-functional projects, and countless huddles, our interns dove headfirst into the Core model and helped us challenge the way things have always been done. This is what people-first culture looks like and we’re proud to be the kind of company where the future gets a seat at the table. To our interns: We hope Camp Core was the best summer of your professional lives (so far). Keep dreaming big. And keep asking the hard questions. #CoreSpaces #InternshipProgram #CampCore2025 #PeopleFirst #InventTheFutureOfLiving #InternAppreciationDay

We’ve officially received TCO for Hub Athens—marking a major milestone as we get ready to welcome students to our newest community steps from UGA’s campus. This 460-bed community pairs thoughtful design with next-level amenities—including a rooftop deck with pool and hot tub, wellness spa with hot & cold plunge and sauna, study lounges, and everything else Dawgs need to thrive including a Georgian-style front and rear porch! Delivering on time (and ahead of the curve) is no small feat—and it’s a testament to the dedication, partnership, and precision of every team involved. Big thanks to the architects, contractors, leasing teams, and Core community staff who helped bring this project to life. On to move-ins.

Hub Clemson is on the way. We’ve officially broken ground on our 1,303-bed student housing community just steps from Clemson University. Set along the shores of Lake Hartwell with direct access to Keowee Trail, the seven-story development will feature 394 units across 821,000 square feet, offering a mix of studio to five-bedroom apartments and a series of three‑story townhomes. 20,000 square feet of amenities include a rooftop pool and lounge with 360-degree views of the lake, downtown, and campus. But this is more than housing. It’s a transformative, waterfront urban center experience. We're doubling the active parkland, adding curated retail, and creating a destination for students and the entire Clemson community. We’re proud to be a part of this meaningful placemaking opportunity, opening summer 2027. Big thanks to our partners at Kayne Anderson, Juneau Construction Company and Northworks Architects. #CoreSpaces #StudentHousing #DealClosed #Clemson #OffCampusLiving #StudentHousingInvestment #Groundbreaking

This June, our PRISM employee resource group hosted its annual Lunch & Learn, spotlighting LGBTQIA+ voices from across the company. The panel created space for open dialogue, thoughtful conversations, and shared learning around identity, allyship, and inclusion in the workplace. To close out the month, PRISM members shared their reflections on what Pride means to them. At Core, we believe everyone deserves to bring their full, authentic selves to the spaces they live and work. Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, honor the history of the movement, and amplify voices that deserve to be heard year-round. We’re proud to support a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered. Pride is more than a month — it’s a commitment we carry with us all year long.

Hub Knoxville has officially received Certificate of Occupancy, marking a major milestone in one of the largest student housing developments in the country. When we set out to build a full city block of student living at the steps of the University of Tennessee, we knew we had to get everything right—timing, scale, execution. And we did. Hub Knoxville spans nearly 2,000 beds across three towers and delivers more than 40,000 SF of amenity space, including Knoxville’s first rooftop pool, panoramic views of campus, and a resident experience shaped by hospitality at every touchpoint. Check out this aerial video to see for yourself... it takes nearly 2 minutes to capture the scale of this stunner. Massive thanks to our partners at Schenk Realty Group, Juneau Construction Company, Kayne Anderson, Antunovich Associates and dwell design studio, llc for helping us reach this moment. Phase 1 pre-leasing exceeded expectations. And now—with CO in hand—we’re one step closer to welcoming Vols home. #StudentHousing #DevelopmentMilestone #UTK #HubKnoxville #CoreSpaces Video courtesy of Juneau Construction Company.

Deal Closed. We’re expanding our footprint near Indiana University with Hub Bloomington Lincoln, a 461-unit, 1,492-bed community in partnership with Harrison Street. This marks one of our largest off-market assemblages to date, bringing together more than 20 parcels across nearly 7 acres. That gives us plenty of room to do what we do best: deliver a next-level living experience for students, complete with 34,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities (including a rooftop pool and basketball court). Construction is underway, and completion is set for Summer 2027. Thanks to our partners at QuadReal Property Group and TSB Capital Advisors on this closing, and Wells and Wells Construction and DLR Group on construction and design. We can’t wait to welcome Hoosiers home. #CoreSpaces #NewDevelopment #StudentHousing #DealClosed
