Summary:
- Global property developer Greystar has expanded its presence in the UK student housing market by acquiring a portfolio of five purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) assets in key university cities, increasing its footprint and operational capacity in the sector.
- The acquisition, completed through a joint venture with a major institutional investor, reflects growing institutional interest in UK PBSA driven by strong demand fundamentals and stable income streams, reinforcing the sector’s appeal amid broader real estate market volatility.
