We’re expanding in Midtown Atlanta. Together with Capstone Communities, we’re transforming one of the last major undeveloped sites near Georgia Tech into a vibrant, mixed-use destination. This multi-phase project will bring layered amenities, street-level retail, and an activated pedestrian experience to the heart of Midtown. Phase 1, led by Core, includes 1,600 beds and 5,000+ SF of ground-floor retail, with architecture led by dwell design studio, llc, and is set for completion in 2029.
In student housing, “turn” is our championship season. It is the short window between move-out and move-in when every bed, finish, and detail must be made ready for thousands of residents on day one. For our teams, it is the ultimate test of preparation, coordination, and execution. A flawless turn means more than a smooth start for residents. It protects timelines, safeguards revenue, and reinforces the trust our partners place in us to deliver at scale and on schedule. This year our teams rose to the challenge. From maintenance techs and housekeeping crews to community managers and corporate support, it was all hands on deck. Their expertise, grit, and hospitality-minded approach set the tone for another great year ahead. To our teams, thank you for proving again that Core can execute at the highest level. To our partners, this is the standard you can expect every year.
Now playing on all major streaming services. Our new Hub On Campus brand creative just launched for our 26’ developments and this one’s emotional. More than just a :30 ad, this is an awareness play designed to meet students before the lease, before the tour, before the Google search. Because the moment you leave home and step into college life? That moment is emotional. -You're making new friends. -You’re figuring out how to be on your own. -You’re waving goodbye to your parents and they’re trusting that you’re in good hands. This spot is built to hit all of that. It’s about confidence for both students and their families. A visual reminder that at Hub, you're not just renting a place to live. You're stepping into a community that was purposefully designed to feel like a home where our residents can make the best memories. Big thanks to our agency, The Partum Company for nailing the vision. Let’s keep building brands that move people.

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.

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.

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.
