Investing in student housing in Antwerp South
Anversa is approaching completion. What started as the redevelopment of a dated office building between Brusselstraat and Montignystraat is now growing into a high-quality student residence in the heart of Antwerp South. Delivery is scheduled for summer 2026, perfectly aligned with the start of the 2026–2027 academic year.
For investors, this means a fast start of rentals and therefore immediate rental income. Thanks to a strong location, the direct proximity of several campuses and a sustained high demand for quality student rooms in Antwerp, you invest in real estate with strong rentability and lasting potential.
A strategic location for student real estate
Right next door you'll find the Karel de Grote Hogeschool (KdG Zuid) campus, while AP Hogeschool and UAntwerpen's Mutsaard campus are also within walking distance. Students of Sint Lucas, Plantijn and the Conservatory reach Anversa in a single tram ride. The Stadscampus and Drie Eiken are also reachable in around fifteen minutes.
What's more, the Zuid is one of Antwerp's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Trendy coffee bars, restaurants, museums like the M HKA and KMSKA, and the renovated Zuidpark make this a district where students genuinely want to live; a key advantage for rentability and occupancy.
A structurally tight market
Antwerp counts more than 55,000 students today, spread across the city's higher education institutions. The supply of high-quality, energy-efficient student rooms remains far behind demand. The city is actively building additional capacity, but the structural shortage will continue in the years ahead, particularly in the higher segment.
For the investor, this is the most concrete argument there is: demand exceeds supply, and it will stay that way. For the parent buying a room for their son or daughter, it's the assurance that the room will easily continue to be rented after their studies.
An offer for every type of student
Anversa offers a range of room types, from a comfort room to a more spacious room with private bathroom, a fitting option for every student.
The wing housing the 30 luxury studios for young professionals is fully sold out. The student rooms are in the final phase of sales.
Smart investing with a transparent structure
Anversa has been developed with sustainable rentability and a transparent investment structure in mind. You invest at a fixed entry price, finishing package included, with no surprises afterwards.
You also benefit from a significant tax advantage: the purchase falls under 12% registration duties instead of 21% VAT. On an entry price from €142,000, this can amount to a direct saving of up to €17,600, a substantial benefit that further strengthens your overall return.
Worry-free investing in student real estate
Investing in Anversa means not only choosing a strong location and quality real estate, but also opting for a formula with professional management. For complete follow-up, Anversa works with its dedicated management partner DIGGIT.
From rental and administration to maintenance, repairs and the handling of successive student contracts: everything is managed professionally. As an investor, you don't have to deal with practical concerns, while your property remains actively managed and rented.
"I heard about Antonissen Development Group through friends. That's how I discovered some of their projects. Now I'm the proud owner of an apartment in the Zurenborgpoort complex myself, which I bought for my children. Contact with the Antonissen teams has always been excellent, with regular updates on construction. We even received photos so we could follow how our apartment and the building were taking shape."

All campuses within walking or cycling distance
From Anversa, you're on campus in just a few minutes. KdG Zuid is literally next door, AP Hogeschool is 6 minutes away and UAntwerpen Mutsaard about 10 minutes. The Stadscampus and Drie Eiken are also easily reached via trams 4 and 7, with a stop just around the corner. As a true cycling city, Antwerp calls for smart mobility. That's why Anversa offers a generous covered bike storage and a shared bike station right outside the door.
The Zuid — living where Antwerp comes alive
The Zuid is Antwerp's most vibrant side. Restaurants, coffee bars, museums, parks, nightlife. For students, this is the place to feel at home in the city.
For investors, this prime location translates directly into strong rentability, low vacancy and stable rents. With multiple campuses in the immediate vicinity and excellent accessibility, Anversa ranks among the best-located student residences in the city.
Mobility for those who do drive
For those who commute or regularly head home: 130 underground parking spaces with electric charging points. In a neighbourhood where parking stress is the norm, that's a selling point in itself, for today's tenant and tomorrow's resale.
Management without worries
Managing a student room means yearly changes of tenants, contracts, small repairs, inventories, questions on a Saturday night. You don't do any of that.
Our partner DIGGIT takes care of full management: rental, screening, maintenance, administration, key handovers. You are the owner, not the landlord.
