Like many sectors within the Australian property industry, the purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) has been adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Largely dependent on the flow of domestic and international students, both universities and accommodation providers have had to rapidly adapt to travel restrictions, government orders and border closures.
So how have developers, owners, operators and tertiary institutions managed this once-in-a-generation challenge? And what does the future hold for one of Australia's most promising real estate and export sectors?
To help us explore this future, The Urban Developer has assembled three industry leaders to provide an inside perspective on how the Australian student accommodation sector is positioned, now and into the future.
In this interactive webinar, we will hear directly from:

Stephen is responsible for Scape Australia’s strategy, asset origination, financing and investor relations, a position he has held since 2013.
Globally, Scape has a portfolio of 18,000 beds in either operation or development.
