How Professional Photography Elevates Student Housing Marketing: Hannah Lofts in East Lansing, MI
In today’s fast-moving real estate market, first impressions can make or break a deal—especially in multi-family real estate and student housing. For developers, property managers, and brokers, professional photography isn’t just about making a property look good—it’s about creating marketing assets that drive leasing and attract serious investors.
At Urban Media Chicago, we specialize in commercial real estate photography that does exactly that. A great example is our recent project for CBRE, capturing Hannah Lofts in East Lansing, MI, a modern student housing community just steps from Michigan State University.
Showcasing Hannah Lofts for CBRE
Hannah Lofts combines sleek design, inviting community spaces, and unbeatable location. CBRE needed a complete visual portfolio to market the property—highlighting it as a top-tier option for both students and investors.
We approached this by blending architectural ground photography with drone imagery. Ground-level shots showcased stylish interiors, welcoming lounges, and outdoor gathering spaces. Meanwhile, drone views highlighted proximity to MSU, nearby retail, and the vibrant East Lansing scene.
By capturing both details and context, we helped tell a full story: why Hannah Lofts is more than just another student apartment building—it’s a community and lifestyle investment.
Driving Leasing and Investment with Quality Visuals
Strong photography does more than fill space on a listing page. It helps properties lease faster and positions them attractively to investors. CBRE used our images across digital listings, brochures, and presentations—turning Hannah Lofts into a standout opportunity in Michigan’s competitive student housing market.
This is where partnering with an experienced architectural photographer pays off. We know how to highlight design features, showcase amenities, and capture the energy of a location—making your property not just seen, but truly remembered.
