Investment proposition 

Differentiated Business Model within the Popular PBSA Property Sector

We target investment in prime regional cities which attract students from the growing pool of affluent international, postgraduate and returning undergraduates, whose premium accommodation requirements are relatively under-served by the PBSA market. This segmented supply and demand imbalance drives both occupancy and rental growth, creating relatively high-yielding investments which provide attractive total returns.

Responsible and Industry-Leading Operating Brand

Hello Student, our operating brand, has become one of the most effective, responsible and recognisable in the sector. In the 2023 Global Student Living Index, Hello Student® outperformed all benchmarks for student satisfaction, exceeding the average for university and private halls. We were awarded a Platinum Operator Certification and achieved a positive NPS score of 30.5; a higher score compared to the NPS benchmarks for private halls of 13. We pride ourselves on high quality customer service and amenities.

Sustainable Long-Term Business Model

There has been consistently strong growth in student numbers over the past decade, with strong growth set to continue for the foreseeable future.
