Student Accommodation Investment
The market for student housing begins to position as an investment asset internationally. According to various studies of the field, in countries like UK this business offers returns of between 11% and 15%, much higher figures than in other sectors of commercial real estate.
The latest report from property consultant reveals that the market for student accommodations starts to rise as a major investment category. In the last ten years the interest in this business has excessively increased among investors, developers and private operators.
This real estate asset is increasingly across the world as students are increasingly international and mobile, developers and operators of dormitories are active in all continents and investors are increasingly investing abroad. Dormitories are traditionally identified as an alternative investment of the sector. However, investments and operations in this sector in the UK exceeded 3 trillion during last year which is almost double than the figure of 2011.
The rapid growth of the sector has been reinforced by the increasing number of students across the world, which has grown from 98 million in 2000 to 165 million in 2011. In addition, this figure is expected to reach 263 million by 2025. More than half of these students come from Asia, followed by Europe, Africa and South America. This rapid growth in demand has resulted in a shortage of supply of homes for students and consequently, the market is unbalanced. This unbalance has provided matchless opportunities for the investors in this field.
Precisely this imbalance between supply and demand has bolted the returns of this asset. Thus, the overall performance of the student accommodations in UK moves between 11 and 15%, much higher than other property related investments. Further, revenue stability and solid rental growth, along with increased resistance during downturns, are fundamental and attractive attributes that result in a high occupancy levels where demand for student accommodation is growing at a higher rate than supply.
Trading volume in the global student housing has never been so high, which reflects the growing appetite of investors in this sector. In the 12 months to June 2012, there were 4,700 transactions related to student accommodation investments worth millions of dollars worldwide. UK was one of the most active markets. This rapid expansion indicates that this market has an estimated value of approximately 200 trillion. HPL Global, one of the prestigious firms operating in the field of student accommodation investment is also helping the investors in maturing their investment.
Historically this sector has been dominated by developers and operators. Currently equity funds, investment funds states, pension, investment managers and REITs are beginning to be “more comfortable” in operating in this market. For that reason, they seek to incorporate these assets as components of growth in their portfolios.
HPL Global also highlights the countercyclical nature of this asset, as college enrollments have grown consistently during times of economic crisis. Further many markets of the world are undergoing a transformation due to the construction of large-scale colleges and universities.
For investors, it is also important that there is enough space in the field for their margin. Surely there are many attractions offered by UK for investors of student accommodations as its universities are the best ones in the world.

All this leads to extended attraction towards student accommodation investments by the investors and HPL Global is helping the investors to get benefit of this highly attractive investment field.
