Global Student Accommodation Completes Acquisition of 1,600-Bed Student Housing Portfolio
by Jeff Shaw
AUSTIN, TEXAS; FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ.; AND CHARLESTON, S.C. — Global Student Accommodation (GSA) has completed the acquisition of a five-property student housing portfolio totaling over 1,600 beds. The seller was Harrison Street, an investment management firm headquartered in Chicago. The portfolio includes three assets in Austin, one in Flagstaff and one in Charleston. The price and names of the specific properties were not disclosed. Student housing provider Yugo will take on the management of all five assets immediately, with the aim of enhancing students’ overall experience throughout and beyond university and college life. The transaction gives GSA access to the new market of Charleston, which is rapidly becoming a tech hub and has seen its labor pool grow three times faster than the U.S. average since 2010. This growth is also reflected in student applications to the College of Charleston, which have increased 29.1 percent over that same time period. “These latest additions to our portfolio build on the momentum that we have had since entering the U.S. market at the start of 2021, where demand for student housing remains robust,” says Robin Moorcroft, transaction director of GSA. — Kari Lloyd
With vacancy in Louisville’s industrial bulk market sitting at 1.7 percent, an increase of supply is sorely needed. Fortunately, plenty is on the way. At the halfway point of 2022, over 9.5 million square feet of bulk inventory is under construction, with approximately 4.8 million square feet slated for completion by year-end. Due to the demand for big box distribution warehouse space, which skyrocketed due to COVID-19 and the increase of online ordering and e-commerce fulfillment, absorption (12.9 million square feet) outpaced construction (9.9 million square feet) to the tune of 3 million square feet, and depleted vacancies in the process. Average asking rent increased from $4.79 per square foot to $5.26 in the second quarter and is up 26.7 percent from $4.15 at this time last year. This can mainly be attributed to overall increase in demand and increased construction costs. With nearly 5 million square feet of new speculative product hitting the market by year-end, coupled with recent completions of approximately 3 million square feet and 1.6 million square feet of sublease space expected to hit the market in the near future, deal rates are expected to steady and could potentially decrease as competition among landlords increases over …
