WHY THIS STUDENT HOUSING EVENT MATTERS
What You'll Learn:
- How to capitalise on the electric demand for this sector
- How to align operational engagement with student demands to attract tenants
- The importance of development, design and location to provide the best quality spaces
- How supply and demand, rents and price points for student housing compare to other living sectors in 2024
- Why the PBSA sector is so exciting for investors
How You'll Do More Business: The student housing sector in the UK in 2024 continues to be defined by a supply and demand imbalance. According to CBRE student numbers in the UK are at record highs, with UCAS stating in 2023 that there were three students for every one student housing accommodation bed in the UK, and this number will only increase in 2024. This is driving strong demand for accommodation, and due to the supply and demand metrics, rental growth prospects for the sector remain strong. Join Bisnow to gain insight into how the biggest players are getting deals over the line, how to align operations and ESG considerations to attract tenants, and how to design and develop the best beds to stand out in this market.
Bisnow events bring together the UK's most influential commercial real estate investors, owners, developers, lenders, occupiers, consultants and advisors for dynamic and unforgettable content and dedicated networking sessions. With the largest audience of CRE professionals in the world, no one knows how to help your business more than us. As always come early and stay late for ample networking — we'll see you there!
