Award 10 1024x384 - Cardinal Group Management Expands Reach with Nearly 5,000 Beds Onboarded Under Private Label Model

Strategic Partnership Brings Cardinal’s Management Platform to Seven States, Delivering Enhanced Value and Opportunity for Communities

DENVER, Colo., June 23, 2025—Cardinal Group Management is proud to announce the onboarding of 1,969 units across Nebraska, Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Arkansas, under its innovative private label model. 

Collaboration under the private label model empowers clients to tap into Cardinal’s operational expertise and support while maintaining their unique brand identities. This flexible approach allows owners to drive greater operational efficiency from Cardinal’s resources while retaining the option to revert to in-house management if desired. 

This new partnership adds a total of 4,844 beds to Cardinal’s portfolio and marks a significant milestone in its commitment to building vibrant communities and empowering team members with expanded resources and opportunities.

“At Cardinal, we set out to be the best place to work in any industry for anyone,” said Alex O’Brien, CEO of Cardinal Group Companies. “We are proud to extend our culture, scale and benefits to new teams. We see the amazing work our clients have already done and bring our robust and scalable management platform to help them do even better.”

Team members at these newly onboarded communities will continue to lead day-to-day operations, now supported by Cardinal’s comprehensive training, career development pathways, and industry-leading tools. This integration ensures that existing strengths are honored while new opportunities for growth and collaboration are introduced.

With its nearly 5,000 new beds under management, Cardinal Group Management continues to set the standard for quality, efficiency and team member growth in the student housing sector. This expansion highlights Cardinal’s position as a reliable partner, providing exceptional results and dynamic living experiences for residents across the country.
