Core Spaces is redefining how people live, with student and build-to-rent communities across the US. As their creative partner since 2018, we’ve supported brand-led growth that’s scaled the company 30x and helped build $7.6B in equity under management.
Core Spaces

Branding the future of living.

We coined Core’s mission—inventing the future of living—and designed a brand that brings it to life. Emotional storytelling, bold gradients, and architectural type reflect Core’s innovative and human-centered approach to product design.
Core Spaces

A site that speaks Core.

We designed Core’s website to show both what they build and what they believe. It captures the energy of a team obsessed with design, shaped by culture, and driven by the resident experience.
Core Spaces

Building culture, inside and out.

From ad campaigns to culture docs to investor comms, our work is embedded in how Core operates. We partner with the C-suite and Marketing team to drive consistency across channels. Our goal is to bring clarity and character to every corner of the business.
Core Spaces

Many brands. One Core.

From flagships like Hub, Rive, and Oxenfree to ancillary brands like Resio, Treehouse, and CBX Connect, we’ve helped Core turn new ventures into brands that move. Each has its own voice and story, and they all work together to drive long-term value.

We designed the brand to feel immersive and cinematic, elevating Core beyond real estate into the realm of lifestyle and experience. It draws you in emotionally before it informs you intellectually.

Core Spaces business card

Hyper-color gradients help energize a traditionally unimaginative space. The palette is modern and expressive, setting Core apart in a sea of sameness.

Core Spaces branded stationery set including letterhead, black notebook, two pencils, brochure, business cards, and envelopes.

Clean grids, dynamic layouts, and open space create a digital experience that feels as designed as Core’s communities. It’s sophisticated without being sterile.

We built a best-in-class interactive map for exploring Core’s national presence. It makes it easy to scan, sort, and discover communities.

We helped Core build a brand ecosystem of student housing, build-to-rent, and ancillary companies. Each sub-brand speaks to its own audience with its own tone, while reinforcing the Core vision.

“What sets Heco apart is how deeply they get us. They understand me and the culture we’re building at Core, and they turn that into design and messaging that genuinely feels like us. That level of authenticity has been a real driver of our growth.”
