American Campus Communities Announces Interactive Annual Review

The "Exceeding Expectations" interactive micro-site showcases a year of positive results achieved through ACC's diligent execution of its investment and operational strategies.

"Last year we said we'd increase internal value. And we did--growing same-store occupancy by nearly 250 basis points, improving rental rates, and increasing same-store NOI by nearly 7%," said Bill Bayless, ACC president and CEO. "We also committed to delivering external growth--expanding our portfolio and creating value under our diversified investment platform. And we met this goal, adding 21 new properties through acquisition and development totaling $605 million."

This is the company's third year producing the interactive review, which targets investors and university clients. To view and share the micro-site, visit www.americancampus.com and click on the Featured Video.
