Core Spaces
Who We Are
Core Spaces (Core) is more than a real estate company, it’s a people company. Where building relationships is just as important as building properties. From researchers and architects to designers and operators, Core is made up of risk takers and dreamers who are on a mission to invent the future of living. Our six cultural values guide us every day and we strive to live them in everything we do:
PUSH
(Invent Better Places to Live),
GRIT
(We Got This),
LIFT
(Help Each Other Win),
SHINE
(Bring Your Full Self),
UPHOLD
(Never Break Trust),
GROW
(Always Get Better). Everything Core does stems from this culture of collaboration and innovation, and the drive to constantly improve the resident experience. This unique approach has led to creating spaces and services that are redefining the way people live.
What We Do Founded in 2010, Core is a vertically integrated real estate investment manager focused on acquiring, developing and managing across the student housing and build-to-rent (“BTR”) sectors.
