Unfortunately, it's just the names that are used to Aston Urbana Residence apartment towers. Of course, PT Titan Properties has a special reason for naming five of the seven towers were built with the legendary name of the university.

Sudarmanto, property consultants Titan Properties, said the main segment of its customers are college students, expatriates, and hospital employees. "Most kids do UPH (Universitas Pelita Harapan)," he said. Understandably, Aston Urbana terpacak Raya Jalan Alamanda, Karawaci, not far from the university campus.

In recent years property developers are targeting the market share among the students. This is a new business niche. During this time, college students away from home where parents prefer to stay at a boarding house. Residents around campus renting rooms in his house to students. There are also entrepreneurs who deliberately build a boarding house.

The need for housing around campus continues to increase every year. Moreover, in areas such as education centers in Depok, Grogol, Tanjung Duren, Salemba, and Karawaci. On the other hand, the available land to build a boarding house, lodging house more limited. Well, this is the condition that visits the property developers as a lucrative opportunity.

Actually, the developers do not have to bother building a special student apartments. They simply build a middle class apartment with a minimalist design and more practical. Still, buyers are parents of students. Alternatively, many students who rented the apartment, of course using money from his parents. So, the developers do not have to worry about a declining margin business.

Wira Agus, head of Cushman Wakefield Industrial Research, saw some big developers have entered into a niche business. Call it the Great Group who founded Apartments Podomoro Mediterranean Ivory, Grogol numbers.
