Nestled in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) offers a rare, ready-made gateway to the stars. This scientific landmark is ready for next-gen use, from AI research and data archiving to aerospace communications, STEM education, and even quantum computing. Originally developed by NASA in the 1960s as part of the space race, this 192-acre campus helped capture the first images of Earth from space, and later, was used by the NSA during the Cold War as a key satellite communications hub. Today, the site is an International Dark Sky Park for public education, surrounded by over a half-million acres of protected national forest, ideal for astronomical observation and scientific research. But it’s not just that past that makes PARI extraordinary, it’s the future. Nearly a quarter-billion dollars of investment has primed PARI’s infrastructure to nurture the future’s innovators, technological breakthroughs, and connections to the stars. Located in an electromagnetically quiet zone, one of only about 100 in the world, PARI is decidedly positioned to leverage its institution-grade elements in an environment where few other sites can. Some of the scientific and technological highlights include two NASA-built dishes, two radio telescopes, Solar and Jupiter radio arrays, and an Eight-Meter Transient Array. Of the more than 25 optical telescopes, PARI features a Coronado Solarmax 40, Polaris 12-inch Cassegrain, SPACE 10-inch Cassegrain, and a 16-inch DFM Research Grade Telescope with a 7-inch Questar Finder Scope. Under the current owner, a nonprofit organization, PARI is utilized for STEM education, scientific research, data archiving, and facility rentals, events, and private programs. PARI has already fostered longstanding relationships with over 40 universities, including 17 institutions within the UNC system. Intriguing guests come from all around to check out PARI’s NASA heritage museum, library, classroom workshops, conference facilities, AdventureDome planetarium, space equipment control center, and a visitor-favorite radio telescope known as Smiley. Two cabins on the property are great to host events or serve as dormitories, and a 200-person cafeteria and commercial kitchen is capable of serving 500 meals per day. PARI is accessible year-round via paved roads, and the on-site helipad allows users to quickly drop in for mission-critical operations. This model outlines multifaceted revenue streams from educational tuition and grants, sponsorships, potential for AI/quantum data center development, ground station operations, and radio/optical telescope usage.

Boulder Portfolio of properties for Sale

Marcus & Millichap has been retained as the exclusive investment advisor for The College, a 2.62-acre (114,082-square-foot) assemblage encompassing 91 units and 107 beds across four contiguous parcels at 2905–2985 E College Avenue. This unified offering delivers one of Boulder’s few privately controlled redevelopment sites adjacent to Colorado University (CU) Boulder’s campus. Located within CU’s designated East Campus growth zone, the property directly aligns with the 2021 Campus Master Plan, which envisions East Campus evolving into a mixed-use academic district with expanded housing, dining, and student-life amenities. The plan calls for 4,000–6,000 additional beds, primarily for upper-level and graduate students — reinforcing long-term demand for purpose-built housing in this location. College Avenue is rapidly emerging as the main pedestrian and micro-mobility corridor linking Main and East Campus. Recent city and CU improvements — dual bike lanes, enhanced walkways, and new underpasses at 28th and 30th Streets — provide direct connectivity. The site also benefits from immediate access to Pearl Street, the 29th Street Mall, and multiple CU transit routes. Local planning officials highlight this stretch of College Avenue as one of the very few remaining private parcels capable of supporting CU’s next phase of growth. Early control of this land positions a developer to align with the university’s long-term expansion trajectory. Zoned RH-5, the site allows up to five stories with realistic potential for additional height and density based on ongoing city and university discussions. The College offers an irreplaceable land position in Boulder’s student-housing core — a rare opportunity to deliver scale in a tightly constrained market directly adjacent to one of the nation’s top public universities.

A former nursing home with 5 acres of land, 5,300 sq. ft. of space, 100 rooms, and a large dining area** presents a wealth of opportunities for various uses. Here are some prime possibilities: 1. Church & Community Center The existing layout could easily be transformed into a house of worship with offices, classrooms, and fellowship areas. The large dining room is ideal for church gatherings, community meals, or special events. The 100 rooms could serve as Sunday school rooms, youth group spaces, counseling offices, or temporary housing for missionaries. The 5 acres offer space for outdoor events, parking, or expansion for a worship hall. 2. Student Housing or Dormitory The property could be repurposed into an affordable student housing facility for nearby colleges or trade schools. The individual rooms provide private or semi-private student accommodations. The dining area could be used as a cafeteria or common area for students. The land allows for recreational spaces, study areas, or future development. 3. Office Spaces & Co-Working Hub The layout supports conversion into private offices, conference rooms, and coworking spaces. The large dining room could be repurposed into a conference center, event space, or shared lounge area. Ideal for startups, small businesses, or medical offices seeking an affordable headquarters. The expansive property offers ample parking and room for additional development. Would you like me to tailor these ideas based on local demand or zoning regulations?

A private research institution located in the heart of Central New York, SU has grown its academic divisions to 13 schools and colleges since opening in 1870. With more than 40 research centers and institutions, Syracuse University is one of 39 private doctoral universities nationwide with an R1 Carnegie Classification. Approximately 8,000 students live on campus, primarily undergraduate students as SU requires most first- and second-year students to live on campus. 50% of undergraduates live off campus. Many students move off-campus after their first or second year, particularly to areas close to the University, such as the neighborhoods surrounding University Hill and Westcott. SU’s student population continues to grow, creating sustained demand for housing. This nearly complete collection of townhomes forms a cohesive student housing environment that stretches from E. Colvin Street to the length of Robert Drive. With 50 contiguous units (151 beds) across 25 duplex buildings, buyers gain the rare ability to control and shape virtually the entire community adjacent to Syracuse University. The unit mix is driven by the 3-bedroom townhomes, which make up the bulk of the community. A small collection of 2-bedroom flats and 4-bedroom quads expands the appeal for varied student groups. - Modern Amenities & Design: Fully furnished, three-story residences designed specifically for group living; Units feature stainless-steel kitchen appliances, upgraded bathrooms with marble and tile finishes, hardwood bedroom flooring, and private patios or balconies; Individual mini-split heating and cooling systems for each bedroom provide a meaningful competitive advantage over older, less efficient housing stock in the submarket - Prime Location Directly Adjacent to Syracuse University: Walkable access to campus and immediate proximity to the South Campus Shuttle Line; Location has historically driven strong leasing velocity and positions University Townhomes among the most desirable off-campus housing options for students - Operational Efficiency & Ancillary Income: Utilities are largely passed through to tenants via structured billbacks, with water and sewer billed directly to residents and trash service provided by the city; Additional revenue streams include parking fees, technology fees, and optional furniture packages, supporting strong expense control and diversified income Sustained Demand Fundamentals: Supported by Syracuse University’s growing student population and limited supply of modern, multi-level townhome product; the Property has maintained historically high occupancy levels of 98–100% with consistent early pre-leasing activity Value-Add Opportunity: Asset presents incremental upside through improved operational execution and refined revenue management, with minimal incremental capital required; Limited, selective interior and exterior enhancements may provide additional upside and can be readily supported by an established local or national operating platform; Strengthened marketing and leasing efforts are expected to improve pre-leasing performance and drive gross revenue

Micanopy Land for Sale

Coldwell Banker Commercial Realty is pleased to announce the availability of 21121 N US Highway 441, Micanopy, FL 32667, a 2.04-acre parcel offering exceptional development and long-term investment potential in the highly sought-after Gainesville–Ocala growth corridor. The property is currently utilized by the seller for vehicle storage and parking, and the seller is open to seller financing, subject to internal discussions—providing buyers with potential flexibility in structuring a transaction. Strategically positioned along North US Highway 441, the site benefits from excellent frontage, visibility, and accessibility. It is located approximately 10 minutes from the University of Florida, north of Gainesville, and 15 minutes south of Ocala, placing it between two of North Central Florida’s most dynamic and expanding markets. The property is currently zoned R-4 (Mixed Residential), which supports medium-density residential development, including single-family and two-family residences utilizing a mix of manufactured homes and conventional construction. Additionally, buyers may pursue rezoning to B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, or B-5, unlocking a broad spectrum of commercial and mixed-use development opportunities. Given the sustained demand for student housing and workforce rentals near the University of Florida, this site presents a compelling opportunity for residential, multifamily, or mixed-use development. This well-positioned parcel offers investors and developers an opportunity to capitalize on the continued expansion of the North Central Florida / Ocala–Gainesville corridor. The region is anchored by the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the state, and benefits from diverse employment drivers, including education, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, agriculture, and government. Elevated educational attainment levels and consistent enrollment growth continue to fuel demand for student-oriented housing and workforce residential product, while limited new supply supports strong long-term fundamentals. The surrounding McIntosh–Micanopy trade area has experienced steady population growth, rising household incomes, and stable employment, creating a reliable consumer base for future residential or commercial uses. Further enhancing the area’s growth trajectory is Camp Margaritaville Orange Lake, scheduled to open in early 2026 in nearby Citra, Florida. This destination-style outdoor hospitality development will feature RV sites, cottages, a large pool complex with swim-up bar, restaurants, live entertainment, Orange Lake access, and resort-style amenities—bringing increased tourism, traffic, and economic activity to the broader region. With strong location fundamentals, flexible zoning pathways, and proximity to major growth drivers, 21121 N US Highway 441 represents an exceptional land investment opportunity for developers and investors seeking to establish a foothold in a thriving and expanding North Florida market.

Student Housing Buildings

What is student housing?

Student housing is a formalized system of living in multi-occupancy student residences that include such features as shared kitchen and washroom facilities, main building entrances, and security systems. Student housing differs from traditional residence in that it provides for the needs of students by providing single or multiple occupancy rentable rooms without meals, programming, building maintenance or supervision.

A dorm is a student housing facility for a residential community. The student's common room, bedroom, or apartment is designed and furnished to fit their needs such as student privacy. Dormitories can range from regular student living needs (bedrooms with bathrooms) to more luxurious student residences that offer private rooms with its own bathroom inside of the room. A student residence hall is also referred to as a dormitory - both terms are used interchangeably, but usually refer to the same thing.

What should be considered when investing in student housing?

Amenities: student apartments need to have the right amenities for college students; these include things like recreation areas with pool tables / tv room / video game systems, study rooms, media rooms, mail centers with student mailboxes, fitness center & gym area (with equipment), clubhouse area or "party loft" with pool tables / basketball hoops / foosball table / video games consoles on flat screen tv's, student and staff lounge areas with kitchen / table space to play cards or board games, a computer center or computer lab with student computers for student use.

Being student-oriented, student housing should be designed with student needs in mind. Maximize student space & maximize student privacy by providing comfortable & trendy furniture. The type of student you are trying to attract will help dictate just how student oriented the furnishings should be.

How to decide on where to Purchase a student apartment to rent out?

There are factors that you should consider before purchasing an apartment building. The following will help guide you in how to decide on what type and location of property to buy as an investment:

Location is everything! Think about the location / neighborhood where you want to spend your hard earned money? If it's just a cash flow play then not really, but if it's also about having a good place for yourself or friends and family then location is important. Consider things like public transport links, shopping centers, places where students hang out (fast food joints etc.) schools & universities, sports clubs etc. Anything which will attract student population should be kept close by such as cinemas, pubs / bars / night-clubs / restaurants etc..

The following are major things you should consider when purchasing a dormitory.

You will be renting it out, so think about potential tenants and investing in a property with great amenities for the student community. Don't buy a property in an area where there is no demand and the majority of your rent will go to maintenance cost. Location is most important, next is size and condition of the building, followed by quality of finishes inside.

Do your research on the property market by doing things like reading property reports from agents, newspapers & magazines, online forums for property investors, etc. It's important that you do your research before purchasing real estate especially if it's for long-term hold strategy where holding periods of 5+ years is common.

Decide what type of property and/or type of student accommodation you want to invest in (ie; fully furnished apartments / studios / house shares / rooms). Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each student accommodation. For example; If you are purchasing a property with fully furnished apartments then the monthly rental income will be higher but there are more maintenance tasks to keep up with the furnishings.

Determine what price range you want to buy within. Some investors may be looking for good investment returns and leverage on demand / market conditions while others may simply be looking for consistent cash flow with a cash flow positive property.

While doing your research you may have identified an area or neighborhood which is in high demand with a lot of potential students, this will most likely be costly due to scarcity value. Look at areas where there are less expensive properties with affordable rent prices and still good growth potential & demand for student accommodation.

In summary, purchasing real estate as a student accommodation investment is popular. Students have less money to spend on renting an apartment / house but more time on their hand, so investing in a property that will meet their demands and quality of life requirements can prove to be profitable.

When deciding on purchasing a property always check the local market in the area you want to invest in for demand, growth potentials and vacancy rates.

Speak to a local broker to ensure any kind of zoning requirements are in place and there is enough demand by local schools.
