Core Spaces to Add 4,000 BTR Units in Six Markets

Core Spaces has announced the continued growth of Oxenfree, the company’s Build-to-Rent (BTR) brand. Chicago-based Core has a portfolio of nearly 4,000 homes under development and in its pipeline across major markets including Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Nashville, Austin, Charlotte and Florida’s Gulf Coast.

This includes seven communities and approximately 1,500 homes currently under construction and groundbreakings scheduled for spring 2024. Oxenfree at Princeton, located outside of Dallas, spans over 50 acres and features 408 single-family homes. Oxenfree at WeHo, located in Nashville’s Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood has 96 multi-level townhomes. Core has broken ground on five other communities in the last five months.

“After spending nearly 18 years understanding and perfecting the student housing and conventional resident UX, we saw a huge opportunity to bring our design-focused and hospitality-driven approach to their next phase of life with Oxenfree,” said Marc Lifshin, co-founder and CEO at Core. Core’s student portfolio consists of over 60 communities and over 37,400 beds across the country, with a pipeline of over 35,000 beds.

Register today for Connect Phoenix Multifamily & Single-Family Build-to-Rent, scheduled for April 18 at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, Scottsdale, AZ.
