Private universities own and manage real estate properties; many of them of historical significance spanning across centuries with settings similar to public universities — academic buildings, research facilities, student housing, administrative offices, and other amenities.
Public universities usually have larger campuses with a mix of owned and leased properties. The specific real estate holdings and their status can vary widely depending on the university’s size, location, and funding. Some public universities have vast land holdings and extensive real estate portfolios and engage in real estate development projects to expand their campuses, construct new buildings, or create public-private partnerships.
