Why College Towns Are Beating the Office Crash

While downtown offices sit empty and suburban malls struggle, college town commercial real estate is quietly posting record occupancy. In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the surprising economics behind university-anchored property: how a ten-year lease from a state university is now safer than a blue-chip corporate tenant, why student housing is becoming a core institutional asset, and how the rise of remote learning is actually pushing more students back to campus. They dive into the 'eds and meds' thesis, the 2026 enrollment rebound, and why a small Ohio town is outperforming Manhattan on rent growth. If you've ever wondered where smart money is going while office towers flounder, this is the episode for you. #CollegeTownRealEstate #UniversityAnchoredProperty #StudentHousing #EdsAndMeds #CommercialRealEstate #OfficeCrash #2026Market #InstitutionalInvesting #TenantCredit #EnrollmentTrends #RemoteLearning #RentGrowth #OhioMarket #PropertyInvestment #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
