SILVER SPRING, Md., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HH Fund, a leading private equity real estate firm focused on U.S. student housing with over 8,000 beds under management, announced today the successful sale of HH Midtown, a student housing asset, located in Baltimore, Maryland. The single-asset transaction, consisting of 114 units and 323 beds with two retail spaces, closed for an undisclosed price.
Since acquiring the asset in 2016, HH Fund implemented a comprehensive value-add strategy to reposition the asset and unlock operational value. Key initiatives included:
- Strategically repositioned the asset from multifamily to student housing, which addressed unmet demand and enhanced asset value.
- Upgraded common areas with expanded lounge seating, a premium coffee bar, and modernized interior finishes.
- Operational streamlining through the deployment of an in-house property management platform, optimizing cost structure and improving NOI.
Proceeds were used to fully repay existing debt and return capital to investors.
“Institutional interest in student housing continues to grow, supported by sector resilience, rising enrollment, and increasing demand for professionally managed off-campus housing,” said Tony Shen, COO at HH Fund. “Our decision to exit, having successfully achieved our investment objectives and completed the investment cycle following a previous recapitalization, reflects disciplined asset management and our commitment to delivering superior outcomes for our investors. This transaction marks another milestone in HH Fund’s consistent track record of successful student housing investments.”
“We will continue to manage the property on behalf of the new ownership group, ensuring operational continuity and best-in-class service delivery. Our vertically integrated management platform brings deep expertise in student housing operations, hospitality-focused resident experience, and NOI optimization,” said Gary Chen, CFO.
The firm has overseen the successful repositioning and stabilization of HH Midtown since acquisition, and its ongoing involvement will provide the new owner with a seamless transition and immediate access to proven systems, personnel, and market knowledge.
This exit underscores HH Fund’s ability to identify under-leveraged assets in supply-constrained markets, execute targeted value-add strategies through its vertically integrated platform, and deliver outperformance in the student housing sector. With a portfolio built on institutional-grade transparency, investor-focused performance, and operational efficiency, HH Fund continues to lead in unlocking long-term value in the fragmented and resilient student housing sector.
