Summary:
- Poland currently has 443 student residence halls with approximately 115,200 beds, of which private PBSA accounts for 13%. The market is set to expand by nearly 8,800 new beds by 2027, driven by a significant supply gap where only 8.9% of students have access to dedicated accommodation.
- Warsaw is poised to become Poland’s largest private student housing market by 2027, adding nearly 5,000 beds, surpassing Kraków. Other cities including the Tricity, Poznań, and Wrocław are also experiencing rapid PBSA growth, responding to rising student demand for higher standards and additional amenities.
- The market is dominated by major operators like Student Depot and Xior Student Housing, with new entrants such as StudentSpace entering Kraków. Occupancy rates near 98% and yields around 6% position Poland’s PBSA sector as one of the most attractive in Europe for institutional investors.
