L3 creates value through capital improvements, fresh rebranding, improved technology, recruiting and developing a higher quality site team, and implementing additional revenue streams. We take pride in our management and strive to elevate the student living and customer service experience.
An In-House Management Company
L3 Campus, LLC was created to operate Salmanson Capital’s student housing assets. After initially hiring a third-party institutional management company after his first student housing acquisition, David Salmanson realized the value in creating an in-house management company capable of delivering the quality and service necessary to fulfill his vision. In 2011, he hired Jamie Grant to develop and oversee Campus Hill Management (now called L3 Campus). With David’s experience in acquisitions and finance and Jamie’s experience in operations, they formed a robust partnership. Under their supervision the properties achieved substantial NOI growth by operating more efficiently than the previous third-party manager. This enabled David to divest of his portfolio in 2015 at a much higher value. From 2011 to 2015 David & Jamie oversaw properties in Syracuse, Lehigh and Nebraska. In 2018, David & Jamie reunited when David identified a few promising student housing assets to acquire at The University of Florida in Gainesville. To oversee L3, Jamie uses the knowledge she has gained in various positions in the student housing field over the past 15 years, and recently her experience overseeing 15,000 beds as Vesper Holding’s SVP of Asset Management & Acquisitions. Please see bios below for additional details on L3 Campus’ executive team.
Mission Statement
L3 Campus’ mission is to provide the best customer experience to our residents. We strive to create value through building a team of exceptional individuals and creating a fun and dynamic environment with a focus on unique design and customer service.
