A letter from the editor co-presidents    July 2022    T his past quarter has been nothing short of eventful: we’ve temporarily moved  out of our          Chicago HQ to Willis Tower, acquired an exciting new property at The Ohio State University for          our Income and Growth Fund investors, are experiencing a record-breaking preleasing season,  and had the opportunity to congratulate many colleagues on their growth within the company.As we  hit the halfway point of 2022, we look forward to embracing this momentum and capitalizing on these  successes to finish the year strong.    In late 2021, we made a conscious decision to reposition certain aspects of our business and recast  our strategy to leverage our core  capabilities and expertise. Simply put, we decided to focus on  the things we are really good at to reinforce the foundations for a resilient business. Our simplified  strategy relies on three pillars:        •	 Developing best in class properties in our key markets      •	 Growing our fund business using our properties and strategic acquisitions      •	 Excelling at managing our properties     We have also embraced a disciplined approach to goal setting and financial performance that takes  into account the ups and downs of our business. Our revamped strategy and approach has allowed  us to navigate the first half of 2022 with intention and unity.    As a result, our business is performing well. Our June FY 2022 year-to-date revenue has increased  6% over 2021, and our portfolio leasing growth continues to be strong for the FY2022/FY2023 season  with pre-leasing currently at 86.1% overall and overall rate growth at 6.4%, which is approximately  2.4% ahead of budget. More impressively, our CA Student Living portfolio is 31.7% renewed which  the highest in our history (our previous highest was 26%)!     For the remainder of 2022, we look forward to turning 22,000 beds in August, delivering four new  projects before the school year starts and closing two to three more new development deals in new  and existing markets. The June to September period is a busy time for many of our teams, with this  year being no exception.     With these successes under our belt, we are prepared for the uncertainty we are now facing with  inflation at its highest in four decades. While 2022 likely  holds more unknown challenges, we will  continue to be thoughtful stewards of our business. We know that with our talented and driven team,  we can manage anything together.    We thank you for your continued dedication and support to our business, and more importantly, to  each other.    Sincerely,                                                      THIERRY KEABLE  SEAN SPELLMAN  2
