MHE Real Estate built and manages the Woodcrest Schools, a chain of private preschools in Southern California and Southern Nevada.

Entering the student-housing industry in late 2006, Mr. Lieberman established MHE/Select Student Housing and purchased property adjacent to the University of Southern California.
The company expanded its reach to include acquiring and managing additional student-housing projects located near four-year universities primarily along the West Coast.
