About us

Yugo is the first global student housing operator, created to enhance students’ overall experiences throughout and beyond university and college life. Yugo offers a truly differentiated living experience that is environmentally and socially conscious, emotionally supportive and safe. Based in Denver, Colorado, the business was created through merging three successful international operational brands – the student housing company, Nexo Residencias and Uninest Student Residents with the U.S. operations of Ucomm that were under Global Student Accommodation (GSA), the leading real estate and investment asset manager. Yugo’s experienced leadership team builds on decades of experience to help more students across the globe learn, grow and thrive. Yugo’s global portfolio will encompass 110 properties (living spaces) in nine countries, with 42,000 beds in more than 69 of the top cities in the world for higher education, stretching from Seattle to Melbourne. In the U.S., Yugo’s 29 living spaces span 19 states in cities such as Philadelphia, PA, Columbia, MO, Minneapolis, MN, and Seattle, WA, and college towns such as Madison, WI, Tallahassee, FL and Tempe, AZ, among others. Yugo will join forces with students to build a better future for the planet and themselves. The business pledges to eliminate single-use plastics in living spaces and corporate offices, supply sustainably sourced beds and chairs to support students’ physical and emotional environment and educate students on energy usage and sustainable living in Yugo spaces around the world. This approach will be enabled by Yuniverse, Yugo’s bespoke technology platform providing digital services with greater reach and connectivity to students globally.

    Here at Yugo, we know that student life can sometimes be tough. Balancing studies, work, and life away from home isn’t easy, and that’s why we’re proud to partner with Chasing the Stigma to help our students and teams get the support they need when they need it. Through this partnership, we’ll be bringing the #HubOfHope, the UK’s largest mental health support directory, directly to our Yugo community alongside our team of professionally trained mental health first aiders. With over 14,500 local, national, and peer support services in one place, finding help will be just a few clicks away. But it’s not just about providing resources. It’s about making mental health conversations normal. Through the Ambassador of Hope training, our team and students will feel more confident talking about mental health and supporting each other without fear or judgment. Most importantly, this partnership will help us better understand the mental health needs of our students so we can continue to improve the support we offer. At Yugo, we’re not just providing places to live. We’re building a community where our people and students feel supported. You’re not alone, we’re #BehindEveryDoor! 💜 #Yugo #YuLife #HereForYu #YugoUK
