With international students numbers back at pre-pandemic levels, occupancy and investor returns are poised to bounce back.
Campus real estate, one of the biggest expenses for universities and higher-education providers, is increasingly seen as a major source of untapped capital as universities form partnerships with other businesses and the private sector to repurpose, sell and lease back buildings.
The Urban Developer presents Developing and Investing in the Education Sector, a virtual summit exploring opportunities in higher-education, PBSA and early learning.
The conference will include expert insight into the new opportunities and business models that exist for the private sector within this revised and renewed asset class.
