Summary:
- Colliers and Cushman & Wakefield are marketing a 225-bed student accommodation portfolio in Adelaide, comprising 107 freehold beds across 14 properties and 118 leasehold beds operated by Student Rooms, with current occupancy at 98.6% and projected net annual income exceeding $2 million.
- Adelaide faces a significant supply shortage with a student-to-bed ratio of 6:1 and no new purpose-built student housing since 2022, intensifying investor interest amid growing demand driven by the University of Adelaide and UniSA merger, expected to add 6,000 international students by 2034.
- The portfolio’s strategic location near Adelaide’s main education precincts—including University of Adelaide, UniSA, Flinders University, and TAFE SA—positions it to meet strong demand from primarily UniSA and University of Adelaide students, supporting sustained investor confidence in the market.
