The three properties in the portfolio are Deep Elm, a 39-unit/116-bed property located at 701 E. Elm Street; The Jefferson, a 30-unit/86-bed property located at 835 S. Jefferson Avenue; and The Q’ube, 29-unit/92-bed located at 634 E. Bear Boulevard. The portfolio is 98% occupied overall and features an average distance to campus of 0.1 miles.
