The investment case
Move sideways through the development narrative below.
Project narrative
Investment premise
Opened in 2001, USC Parkside International Residential College combines a 295,000-square-foot institutional residential program with a broader mission: creating a vibrant community where international and domestic students could live together and engage with global issues.
Risk and optionality
Institutional residential work brings together dense occupancy, life-safety requirements, durable materials, building systems, and the expectations of a highly visible campus setting.
Capital and coordination
The project provided early experience with the precision required to coordinate complex building assemblies and multiple trades within a constrained urban environment.
It remains an important part of the broader development perspective represented here: strategy is only successful when design decisions can be executed clearly, safely, and durably in the field.
