Market
The University of Houston is the 3rd largest university in Texas and a Tier One Research University. The school enrolled approximately 40,000 students in 2014. Further, Texas Southern University “TSU” is also less than a mile from the Vue on MacGregor and enrolled 9,600 students in 2014. With close to 50,000 students enrolled at both institutions, Nelson Brothers believes the campus to be situated in a key location within a primary market. The company’s goal is to leverage what we believe to be favorable economics for student housing: the steady and potentially growing demand and limited supply while attempting to preserve high occupancy, monthly cash flow and a healthy rental rate growth.

Target Strategy
Nelson Brothers anticipates that Vue on MacGregor with its luxury construction, high-end look and amenities, excellent location and advance security make it one of the most compelling places for students to live near the University of Houston campus. As a Tier One school, located in the fourth largest city in the country, Nelson Brothers believes the University of Houston to be a phenomenal economic anchor that has demonstrated solid growth over the last decade. The target strategy is to leverage the historical stability of the university, the property’s location and high-end appeal to affluent students as well as maintaining consistently high occupancy with solid year-over-year rental rate to produce monthly cash flow, tax efficiency and long-term appreciation.
Student Housing
Nelson Brothers believes that students will pursue degrees from major universities regardless of the economic climate. The company’s strategy is based upon that belief and contends that well-positioned properties can stay well-occupied and profitable even during economic downturn. For investors, the target of this strategy is to help provide stable cash flow and diversification to assets that may be less correlated to the economy.
Location
Vue on MacGregor is a pedestrian property located just a few blocks from campus. Nelson Brothers believes that the University of Houston housing market has significant barriers to entry with the areas surrounding campus currently bound by freeways, established affluent neighborhoods and park land.
