As a new method of targeting mature undergrads and grad students, Campus Crest Communities, Inc. has
introduced a new brand to strengthen its product offering and growing family of brands: evo™, an upscale
urban student housing concept.
Campus Crest, led by Ted W. Rollins, co-Founder and CEO, will develop dynamic, sophisticated student
housing properties in urban settings, and will open its first two evo properties in the Fall of 2014.
The Grove at Cira Centre South in Philadelphia will be
renamed evo at Cira Centre South. evo at Cira Centre
South will be the tallest student housing property in the
country with 33 stories and 850 beds. evo Montreal is
the Company's first entrance into the international
market and will feature 1000+ beds, state of the art
study lounges, fitness centers and well-appointed
apartment suites.
"We are the pioneers of the hospitality brand model in
the student housing industry, and the evo brand is a natural complement to our existing portfolio. The brand
solidifies our commitment to evolve student living in urban markets by providing an unmatched living
experience with state-of-the-art amenities and conveniences," said Rollins.
evo will be joining Campus Crest's brand portfolio that consists of The Grove and Copper Beech.
The Grove is Campus Crest's garden-style brand of lifestyle-driven student housing communities, located
across the U.S. The Grove communities embrace a flat rate concept with an active residence life that has
proven to be very attractive to college students and parents.
Copper Beech is the Company's townhome community brand, focused on delivering value to upper classman
and graduate students looking for a more residential feel and freedom in their college experience. Each
Copper Beech community typically features the largest units in the market with one, two, three, and four
bedroom townhomes.
The Company's vertically integrated platform, solid operating strategy, and exceptional talent base will
continue to propel all three brands forward.
