Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, acting on behalf of its clients, and Host Student Housing Ltd. Host, a fully integrated developer and operator in the student and living sector and one of the largest providers of student accommodation in the UK, have formed a new \u00a31bn UK student accommodation and co-living joint venture. Host, in conjunction with Tiger Developments, is part of the O\u2019 Flynn Group of companies which has extensive interests in the property sector in Ireland.<\/p>\n

The joint venture is seeded with two Host-owned operational Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) assets in Leicester and Colchester, a PBSA development project in Bournemouth and a purpose designed co-living development project in Guildford (CGI Imagery below).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition, there is an immediate identified pipeline of over \u00a3250m of PBSA developments totalling more than 1,000 beds in the prime Russell Group university markets of Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh and Birmingham.<\/p>\n

Together, Partners Group and Host intend to expand the JV through further developments in the PBSA and co-living sectors, creating a large and market leading portfolio of \u00a31bn GDV. The JV will look to bring the firms’ combined expertise, experience and financial strength to bear on other UK PBSA and co-living schemes, aimed at meeting the strong and growing demand in the living sector for high quality, sustainable, amenity-rich and professionally managed accommodation with best-in-class service.<\/p>\n

Rahul Ghai, Managing Director, Co-Head Private Real Estate Europe, Partners Group, said:<\/p>\n

“A return to normality and strong demand fundamentals are making the post-COVID student accommodation sector in the UK an attractive investment opportunity. The sector is a key thematic focus for us and benefits from long-term tailwinds, such as favourable population growth trends and rising enrolment rates, as well as the continued strength of the UK’s higher education offering globally. The JV has a robust pipeline, and we look forward to hosting students across some of the most dynamic cities in the country.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peter Holden, Managing Director, Co-Head Real Estate Asset Management, Partners Group, added:<\/p>\n

“We look forward to working with Host in this Joint Venture to continue to provide safe, energy-efficient assets to meet the increasing need for good value housing in key undersupplied university cities throughout the UK.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Nesbitt, managing director at Host, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cHost is excited to be working in joint venture with Partners Group. We have a shared ambition to build a new portfolio of top quality PBSA and Co-Living projects in the \u2018Living\u2019 sector, which offers strong sector fundamentals and growth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michael O\u2019 Flynn, Chairman and CEO of the O\u2019 Flynn Group, said<\/p>\n

\u201cOur experience over 25 years in providing student accommodation in Ireland, the UK and across Europe will clearly benefit the joint venture. This is a unique opportunity, through Host, to collaborate with Partners Group in the development of PBSA and Co-Living projects. The scale of the joint venture will quickly position the JV as a leading player in a sector with significant growth potential.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

JLL Corporate finance has advised Host on the Joint Venture with Partners Group.<\/p>\n
