COMPANY PROFILE MARCH/APRIL 2015 STUDENT HOUSING BUSINESS .COM 86 Haven Campus has partnered with Airwave Networks to pro- vide services to its communities and allow them to stay on the leading edge of technology. Haven West was well received by students, who were introduced to it while it was under construc- tion. It quickly leased up, and is ahead of projections in pre-leasing for fall 2015. Stadium Village, near Kennesaw State University, will have 792 beds. The project has fats on the lower levels, with townhome style living on top. Kennesaw State is launching its football program in the fall of 2015, and Stadium Village has an ideal loca- tion across from the university's new football stadium. The project is leasing ahead of projections. Haven 12 — named for the highway it sits on — in Starkville will contain 536 beds when it opens this fall. The project is built in a style that Williams describes as "modern garden." It consists of fve buildings that have a contem- porary feel. The project has been received well by students, and pre-leasing is ahead of projections. "We are always looking at cre- ative ways to build to the mar- ket," says Williams. "By that, we mean that we don't see one product versus another as defn- ing how we operate. We want to tailor our product to the market. We take a hands-on approach to design, from the site plan to the architecture and amenities." Haven has teamed up with Ambling Student Housing Management Co. to provide management for its new devel- opments. The relationship, says Williams, is one that works well because of both companies' wealth of experience in real estate and respect for each market. Central to all Haven projects are gathering places for students, where they can spend time as a community. The company's proj- ects encourage social interaction among students and the students have responded to this. "We recognize that the way students live is constantly evolv- ing and changing. We pay close attention to that in our design and in our package of ameni- ties," says Williams. "We don't pretend to think that we know more about what students need Haven Campus will open Stadium Village near Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia, in fall 2015.
