What We Believe
At Ivy Capital, our mission is to build lasting wealth and impact through real estate. We leverage market insight and strategic execution to turn underperforming properties into thriving, income-generating assets guided by integrity, innovation, and a commitment to investor success.
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.
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.
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.
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.
