Student Property Investment: Insights and Opportunities

Student property investment, known by various names globally—such as student living property investment, student hostel investment, or student housing investment—offers a dynamic range of opportunities. In South Africa, the IFC Report highlights a critical shortage of student accommodation beds for university students, creating demand for innovative solutions. Key investment opportunities include luxury student living, affordable housing, and assisted student living schemes like the NSFAS scheme in South Africa and the ALS scheme in France.

These schemes play a vital role in improving property viability by enhancing rent recovery and occupancy rates, particularly for students unable to afford standard market rents. Successful investors leverage strategic property locations, optimize occupancy rates, and ensure tenant compatibility to maximize returns.

Prominent student property investors include Republic Student Village, Campus Africa, CampusKey, and TTH Lofts in South Africa. Moreover, there is Yugo, Prestige Student Living, UniLodge, and Kaplan Student Living in the UK.
