Ivy Capital is a privately held real estate investment firm focused on acquiring and operating student housing and multifamily communities across the Southeast. We are guided by a simple belief:
Quality Living Creates Quality Returns.
Our approach is straightforward. We identify overlooked and undervalued properties in secondary and tertiary Southeast markets where the story for creating value is clear. We see what these properties could become through disciplined maintenance, strategic improvements, and genuine investment in the people who call them home.
For student housing, we begin by deeply understanding the school and its market dynamics. Our strategy relies on fundamental supply and demand. We target growing universities with limited new supply, where students can afford quality housing and will value the communities we create. Our process drives us to acquire underperforming properties where clear value-add strategies and operational improvements create meaningful upside.
Post-acquisition, customer service drives every decision we make. We train our on-site teams to treat every resident with care and respect. We address maintenance issues quickly and consistently, deliver a quality experience, enhance amenities, and improve what already exists. When residents feel real value, rents and returns follow naturally.
It’s not rocket science. It’s caring deeply about the people in our communities, and being rewarded for creating real value.

Our work is rooted in a core belief:
take care of the asset, take care of the people, and the returns will follow.
At Ivy Capital, we focus on improving student housing and multifamily communities in growing Southeast markets. Our approach is built on well-located assets, thoughtful renovations, and disciplined operations, but more than anything, it’s built on relationships.
Since our founding in 2022, Ivy Capital has grown the portfolio to over 1,500 beds and expanded into four states, investing millions into value add improvements along the way. Our hands-on approach with every property keeps us closely involved in each renovation plan and more importantly, every resident experience.
Our target markets combine long-term demand with limited new supply, creating a strong foundation for steady performance. These fundamentals have driven consistent rent growth and allowed our properties to outperform underwriting, validating our belief that being selective and involved pays off
We pursue investments with projected minimum LP returns of 18%, supported by clear business plans and disciplined execution. Where possible, we distribute funds to our investors monthly, providing returns regularly, not just at exit.
How We Work With Our Investors
We build real relationships with our investors. Our doors are always open, and we share regular updates because we believe transparency matters, not only when there is big news to share.
Our reputation is everything to us. Across our markets, we’ve earned trust with residents, vendors, and investors by doing what we say we’ll do. We show up, follow through, and treat people right. That integrity drives everything, from how we renovate a property to how we communicate with you.
We believe that when residents thrive in quality communities, investors prosper. It’s that simple, and it’s personal to us.

Featured Investments
A portfolio of student housing and multifamily assets in strong university markets across the Southeast.
Edge at 401 — Tallahassee, FL
Ivy Capital acquired Edge at 401, a walk-to-campus student housing community serving Florida State University, with a strategy centered on operational improvement and rent optimization rather than heavy capital investment. The property benefited from strong fundamentals and location, but inefficiencies in prior management and leasing execution created a clear path to performance improvement.
Following takeover, Ivy implemented structured leasing, resident-retention initiatives, digital marketing optimization, and disciplined collections. These initiatives strengthened resident quality, improved turn efficiency, and drove meaningful rent lift without material capital deployment.
Recent Update: Edge at 401 is now tracking to 96% occupancy next week and fully stabilized, demonstrating the repeatability of Ivy’s operational value-creation model across student housing markets.
Key Value-Add Actions
- Installed new property management and on-site operational systems
- Upgraded leasing funnel & implemented renewal discipline
- Enhanced resident experience and communication channels
- Targeted amenity and common-area refreshes supporting leasing velocity
- Operational focus, limited CapEx approach
Performance
- 96% occupancy
- Sustained rent growth driven by demand + operational execution
- Strong renewal and retention performance
- Proves Ivy’s operating platform beyond Milledgeville
Campus Edge — Milledgeville, GA
Campus Edge was purchased adjacent to Georgia College & State University, offering Class-A interiors and premium location but underperforming due to weak prior management. The strategy relied on immediate operational takeover, disciplined leasing execution, and targeted amenity programming rather than capital deployment.
The property exceeded expectations rapidly, leasing to 98%+ with double-digit rent growth through execution-driven repositioning and marketing sophistication — without major CapEx investment.
Key Value-Add Actions
- Replaced management and instituted Ivy’s student-housing playbook
- Strengthened lead conversion and renewal strategy
- Tightened collections + reduced concessions
- Improved resident experience & communication
Performance
- 14–16% rent growth on renewal cycle
- 98% pre-lease for AY25
- NOI uplift achieved without CapEx spend
Bellamy Milledgeville — Milledgeville, GA
Bellamy was acquired as a large-scale student housing asset with strong fundamentals but requiring a full modernization program. Ivy implemented a comprehensive $7M renovation strategy, renovating units with residents in place and elevating the physical plant, amenities, and technology platform. Every unit was renovated during active occupancy — a complex execution that underscores Ivy’s operational discipline.
Bellamy is now positioned as a premier student community, driving near-full occupancy and double-digit lease-rate increases into the next academic cycle.
CapEx Program
- Full interior renovation of all units during occupancy
- Clubhouse + amenity modernization
- Installation of smart locks and smart package lockers
- New roofs + building envelope repairs
- Wood-rot remediation, exterior upgrades, pressure washing & paint
- Pool, volleyball, study lounge, and fitness equipment upgrades
Performance
- 98% pre-lease for upcoming academic year
- 9% rent growth YOY on renovated product
- Successful execution with students in place — no operational downtime
Revelry Flats — Milledgeville, GA
Revelry Flats expands Ivy’s footprint as the largest private owner of beds in Milledgeville, creating scale advantages and pricing power across the market. The asset features walk-to-campus access and a meaningful mark-to-market opportunity due to limited prior investment.
Ivy is deploying a $4.67MM CapEx plan to modernize interiors, transform amenities, and activate underutilized spaces. Renovation scope includes clubhouse and fitness upgrades, smart lockers, exterior refresh, unit modernization, landscaping, and amenity activation — positioning the asset as a refreshed Class B+/A- alternative to newer supply.
CapEx Program
- Cabinet & countertop upgrades; paint; appliance refresh
- Amenity transformation: yoga room, study areas, sports bar lounge
- Smart locker installation & Wi-Fi improvements
- Landscape and lighting enhancements
- Pool deck upgrades, outdoor seating, grilling stations
- Maintenance shop + storage improvements
Performance
- 94%+ occupancy and 85%+ pre-leased ahead of renovation phase
- 8.9% rent growth YOY achieved pre-renovation
- Shared on-site management & maintenance with Bellamy & Campus Edge drives efficiency and scale advantage
Campus Edge
Milledgeville, Georgia
Campus Edge was acquired adjacent to Georgia College & State University, combining Class-A interiors with a premium walk-to-campus location but underperforming under prior management. Ivy’s strategy focused on immediate operational control, disciplined leasing execution, and elevated marketing efforts rather than significant capital investment.
This strategy reestablished strong operational fundamentals and corrected the issues that had limited the property’s prior performance.
