Victory House Syracuse, LLC, a subsidiary of Champion, will begin immediately on renovations to the 51-building portfolio.

It will be leased by the bedroom and all bedrooms will be fully furnished including televisions and Sonos soundbars.

“Occupancy at housing communities that support premier educational institutions like Syracuse University has never been greater as students want the full campus experience,” said Garrett Champion, Executive Vice President with Champion Real Estate Company. “We will continue to make strategic student housing acquisitions at name brand universities with inherent demand including looking at new markets like Upstate New York.”
