Tripalink, a venture capital-backed tech startup revolutionizing the long-term rental market, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Varsity, a leading student housing operator with 3,900 units primarily located on the East Coast. This strategic move significantly enhances Tripalink's national portfolio, which now manages over 10,000 units across the country, and is expected to create substantial opportunities for clients, team members, and residents alike.
With this acquisition, Tripalink anticipates a combined total of 15,000 units by the end of the year and ambitious plans to quadruple its portfolio size in the next 18 months. Leveraging proprietary technology to streamline the leasing journey, Tripalink aims to provide a frictionless experience for future residents while improving net operating income (NOI) for investors and property owners.
“Our focus on targeted mergers and acquisitions is pivotal to our growth strategy,” said Amber Anderson, COO of Tripalink. “By acquiring management companies, we can deploy our proprietary tech on a national level much faster, proving the value AI can bring to all markets and types of real estate. We’re excited to expand our footprint and strengthen our organization at the intersection of technology and real estate.”
The acquisition of Varsity not only bolsters Tripalink’s presence on the East Coast but also aligns with its mission to redefine living experiences through innovative technology. Tripalink's commitment to developing proprietary tools ensures that residents and investors alike benefit from an enhanced experience and improved financial performance.
Tripalink remains dedicated to creating exceptional living environments while driving sustainable growth through technology-driven solutions. The company manages a diverse portfolio, including student housing, conventional and luxury high-rises, and co-living properties, catering to a wide range of lifestyles and preferences.
