#ResponsibleFinance | Ardian’s real estate strategy continues to evolve – expanding across offices, self-storage, residential and student housing. Our data-driven approach has guided Ardian’s Real Estate investment diversification strategy, unlocking opportunities across a broader range of European real estate assets. The real estate sector has seen an evolution in the purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) market across Europe, with an estimated 2.5 million students expected on the continent by 2030. Supported by a €500m investment commitment in accommodation from CBRE Investment Management, Ardian is building a pan-European PBSA platform in partnership with Rockfield Real Estate that will address student areas with surging demand and limited supply, focusing on countries including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal. Sustainability and occupancy wellbeing are essential to the success of our investment strategy.
