  • As much as 2024 was about growth, it was truly about our people who made it all happen. Through moments—big and small—we’ve continued to foster a culture that values learning and development, belonging and acceptance, community impact, and mental health and wellness. Because we know that when our team members thrive, so do we. This has been our model since day one, and it will continue to be in 2025 and beyond. Come join us in the new year. We’re ready for you. https://lnkd.in/gyUmtTTq

  • 2024 was a year of growth at Core. We welcomed the best talent in the industry, expanded our student housing and build-to-rent portfolios across the country, topped the charts as one of the industry’s leading developers, and hosted epic events and brand activations. Most importantly, we continued to push ourselves to innovate the way people are living. To our partners, team members, and residents…thank you for being a part of this journey with us. It doesn’t stop here. Cheers to 2025.

  • Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do, and moments like this remind us of its incredible impact. Making people feel cared for and creating memorable experiences is what it’s all about. And it’s what sets us apart. As our founder Marc Lifshin said, hospitality is already woven into our culture. In 2025 - and beyond - we can't wait to deliver more moments like this.

    Team One Core –   This week, I want to share a letter I recently received. It’s from someone who had an outstanding service experience at the Lee Brice concert. Spoiler alert for Meghan McAlpine and Jamieson Katz—the letter is all about you. I hope you don’t mind that I’m sharing it— it’s just too good not to ;) What the letter captures so well is the impact of hospitality. There’s no feeling like having someone care about you and go out of their way to make your experience wonderful, just because they want to see you happy. That rare generosity is what makes hospitality meaningful. It has the power to instantly cut through the noise and leave a lasting impression. When it comes to shaping how people feel about our brands, nothing else stacks up.   We’re already great at this because it’s woven into our culture. But in 2025, I want hospitality to become our signature differentiator….and create the buzz within our sectors. I want it to be the area where we leap ahead of everyone in the industry, and put the pressure on them to keep up. With teammates like Meghan and Jamieson being only the tip of our iceberg, good luck to them all.   Let’s go.   Marc

  • This Thanksgiving season, we’re reflecting on the power of giving back. Our Austin-based team recently volunteered at Safe in Austin, an incredible animal rescue ranch that provides healing and hope for at-risk, trauma-affected, and special needs children. At Core, we believe in making a positive impact in the communities we serve. Through our Volunteer Paid Time Off program, team members are encouraged to take a day to support a cause they’re passionate about. It’s an opportunity to connect with our communities—and with each other—while giving back in meaningful ways. We’re proud of our team’s commitment to creating brighter futures this holiday season and beyond. #HappyThanksgiving #CoreCares

  • Last week, thousands of students joined us for a country concert at one of our largest communities, The Pier. We invited Clemson students over to our sprawling community to enjoy a live show with award-winning artist and beloved Clemson University alum, Lee Brice. While singing along to their favorite songs, students got a sense of the lifestyle and one-of-a-kind experiences we offer at our communities. Not only was this a fun and memorable night for our current and future residents, it was the talk of the town driving both awareness and leasing in the market. Our 2,330-bed community features cottages, tiny homes, mansions and townhomes plus incredible indoor and outdoor amenities. The Pier was the perfect backdrop for this epic event, and it’s an even more perfect place for Clemson students to call home.
