Amenitized, lifestyle-driven communities that are thoughtfully designed to immerse students in dynamic, social, and interactive environments that foster connection and belonging. Each BKV-designed community creates energy and an identity for student life — building environments where residents can live, learn, and thrive together.

National Student Housing Expertise

We create well-designed environments that support residents and their need for both privacy and community.
