STUDENT HOUSING ANNUAL REPORT 2025

The Most Anticipated Student Housing Report

As capital becomes more selective, student housing continues to stand out as one of the most resilient and attractive living sectors. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, demand for quality student accommodation remains strong, supported by growing enrolments, rising international mobility, and a structural undersupply of beds in many key markets.

At the same time, high construction costs, tight financing conditions, and a complex permitting process are slowing new delivery and widening the gap between student demand and available stock. For 2026 and beyond, independent, evidence-based insight is critical for anyone allocating capital, planning projects, or looking to better understand opportunities in the student housing sector.
