In a challenging year for student housing leasing due to COVID19, SHS was significantly behind their benchmark leasing numbers mid-2020 across multiple properties in an already competitive market of Tallahassee, FL. SHS reached out to GRO looking for a company with a proven track record of success in student housing looking for ideas and an aggressive plan to reach students and increase their online leasing efforts. Specifically, they first wanted to help specific properties in their portfolio that were severely under-leased heading into Fall 2020.
