Campus Advantage — Gainesville Student Housing - 2020
Campus Advantage — Gainesville Student Housing - 2020
// The Project.
Godart delivered two of the best-located student housing assets in Gainesville to a national institutional operator — in a single coordinated closing.
Project Scope.
Student Housing · Multifamily
The Opportunity
Two Class A assets developed by Viking Companies — directly across from the University of Florida campus, within blocks of Sorority Row. Institutional quality, supply-constrained market, and a seller who understood the scarcity of the position.
Our Role.
Godart represented Campus Advantage, managed the full acquisition process across both properties simultaneously, and negotiated a closing that reflected the portfolio's market position without conceding on terms.
The outcome.
Both assets closed in a single transaction. Campus Advantage added two of the most strategically positioned student housing assets in the Gainesville market to a national portfolio of 64 projects.

// The Outcome
Every transaction in Godart's record produced the same result: value that did not exist before Godart created the conditions for it.
The land that couldn't be developed — developed. The joint venture that didn't exist — structured and closed. The air rights that weren't on any term sheet — secured. The off-market site that wasn't available — acquired before it ever was.The common outcome is not a closed deal. It is a created outcome — value unlocked from an opportunity that required Godart's specific combination of access, structure, and execution to exist at all.
Every transaction closed. Every opportunity was created before the market knew it existed.
