In SHB Magazine’s 2025 March/April issue, Radnor Property Group was named a Top 25 Student Housing Developer for the second consecutive year.
With 12 projects underway and 5,000 beds slated for completion through Fall 2028, Radnor was recognized as #16 for the most developments in the national student housing pipeline. 2024 was the firm’s first year being recognized as a Top 25 Developer since its founding in 1999, marking a significant milestone in Radnor’s history and an exciting future in the development space.
Radnor’s CEO and Managing Partner, David Yeager, was also featured in the issue, in which he discussed current on-campus development trends, including Radnor’s partnership with Harrison Street and Duquesne University in the successful completion of McGinley Hall in 2024.
“Dave Yeager, founder and managing partner of Radnor Property Group, notes many universities are interested in working with what they have. This allows them to save even more time and money through the P3 structure,” the article began on page 82.
“‘We are seeing a lot of university interest in drawing students back to campus by strategically upgrading housing offerings in a comprehensive way,’ he said. ‘Numerous campuses are addressing older legacy on-campus housing stock. Whether that means demolishing obsolete, aged buildings with significant deferred maintenance, or implementing minor to significant renovations of core residential assets, we are excited about the trend.’”
The article continues, “Yeager leans into thoughtfully designed spaces, preferring to partner with designers who understand that the students’ desires are the company’s priority.
‘Even though the cost of materials is leveling – subject to the threat of tariffs – high interest rates and labor costs continue to challenge new construction projects, in addition to rising education costs broadly. This has led us to double down on our attention to detail on unit layouts and common spaces, increasing unit and amenity efficiency without reducing the quality of student experience.’”
