Investment Highlights

01

STRONG MARKET DYNAMICS

Sam Houston State University (SHSU) has seen consistent growth in full-time enrollment. Since Fall 2021, full-time enrollment has risen by 6.2%, with freshman enrollment alone increasing 12% during this period—significantly boosting the university’s full-time population.

02

Strengthened Market Trends

Sam Houston State’s off-campus market is on the rise, driven by strong demand and limited future supply. Despite challenges from COVID-19 and an influx of new beds between 2018 and 2020, fundamentals have significantly rebounded since Fall 2022. This recovery indicates strong growth potential and a promising investment opportunity.

03

HIGH DEMAND LOCATION

The Forum at Sam Houston is just 0.5 miles from campus along Sam Houston Avenue, surrounded by high-performing student housing. Strong occupancy in nearby properties highlights the strong demand for housing along this corridor.

04

Light Value-Add Opportunity

Developed in 2010, there is a light value-add opportunity through minor kitchen upgrades, which could enhance rents to match newer market offerings.

The Location

Sam Houston State University

Sam Houston State University (SHSU) is a prestigious institution that attracts students from across the country. SHSU is renowned for its criminal justice program, business school, and robust research initiatives, contributing to the city’s intellectual vibrancy and economic development.

The university has experienced a steady increase in full-time enrollment, growing by 4.53% YoY. This includes a 2.55% rise in undergraduate students, demonstrating continued demand for on-campus and nearby housing options. Notably, graduate enrollment has surged by an impressive 32%, signaling a heightened interest in advanced education programs and a potential shift in housing needs toward more flexible and upscale living arrangements. This sustained growth is expected to drive higher demand for student housing, contributing to stronger market occupancy rates and upward pressure on rental prices in the coming years. As enrollment trends continue this trajectory, investors and property owners can anticipate increased stability and long-term appreciation in the local rental market.
