Australia & New Zealand Research and Insights Report

For the years leading up to the end of 2019, the Australian Purpose-Built Student Accommodation sector witnessed significant growth in occupancy demand as a consequence of compound annual growth in international student numbers across Australia. 

Now in the third quarter of 2020, where current conditions have brought restrictions on international student arrivals, we’re seeing an impact on occupancy levels and pressure on average bed rates.
Despite this, Australia continues to be considered one of the world’s leading higher education destinations and the fundamentals of the Australian education sector remain present. 

In this research report we provide a snapshot of the Australian market, an introduction to the New Zealand PBSA sector and also include a technical piece on the valuation of PBSA.
