Currently, the demand for student housing is off the charts in student cities. The number of enrolments is increasing year on year, with students increasingly preferring to live in student housing rather than commuting to their campus every day. The shortage of student housing in Belgium is expected to increase to 100,000 units by 2030. Anyone investing in the purchase of one or more newbuild student rooms can thus sleep easy in the knowledge that there will always be a tenant for their property.
Student housing has several very interesting advantages for investors, compared with residential real estate. The student market has a low threshold: entry prices are significantly lower than the price of an apartment, and the return on your investment is high. And if you are looking for a bigger investment, you can always buy several units. Moreover, you are not bound by a 3-6-9 contract, meaning you can adapt the rental contract yearly to reflect inflation or other increasing costs.
A unique investment opportunity is being built in Antwerp’s vibrant Zuid district: Anversa. This ambitious redevelopment project provides a response to the urgent need for quality student housing in Antwerp, with the transformation of an existing office building into ultra-modern, sustainable student housing. Combining 223 student rooms with 30 studios for young professionals and 130 underground parking spaces, Anversa offers added value for one of Antwerp’s emerging neighbourhoods. This development guarantees a good return on your investment, as well as a low entry price and low investment risk. Thanks to a professional rental and management service, you can also be sure of a hassle-free investment.
