Sintesi

Since 2020, the global student housing market has experienced a shift due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which majorly impacted higher education and student mobility. Institutional investment in student accommodations had been robust, but the pandemic led to a significant disruption, with many students deferring study abroad plans, as reported by 69% of respondents in a QS survey.

The Shifting Landscape of Student Housing Demand in Italy

Demand trends in the Italian student housing market have been influenced significantly by various factors outlined in the analysis above. Historically, the number of Italian students has remained relatively stable, but an uptick of approximately 5% has been noted among higher education students over the past five years, as cited by Savills. A key driver in the student housing demand is the population of 'fuori sede' students—those studying in a region different from their home—which is estimated to be around 660,000. Presently, only about 10% of this population resides in student housing, leaving profound room for growth within the market. Interestingly, nearly three-quarters of Italian students choose to live at home, one of the highest percentages in Europe, revealing a unique cultural aspect of Italy’s student accommodation market. Despite the presence of nearly 1.75 million Italian students and an influx of about 95,000 foreign students as of 2018, the offer of student housing currently meets the needs of only around 2.5% to 5% of the total student body. This is in stark contrast to a European average of 19%, as highlighted by Scenari Immobiliari. The lack of sufficient housing has also been brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic, with room availability more than doubling and student accommodations seeing a significant drop in occupancy. Demand, however, is still driven by the consistently growing number of international and domestic students seeking study opportunities away from their hometowns. In terms of pricing, student housing sees a wide range with private basic single rooms starting around 350 euros, luxury offerings going up to around 760 euros, and regional options averaging around 207.5 euros per month. The overall potential market value, considering both size and current pricing, could generate approximately 697.7 million euros, pointing to a strong opportunity for growth if supply were to catch up. Investments in the sector highlight the recognition of its potential. For instance, Hines acquired a development site in Milan, and The Student Hotel opened its doors in Florence with a novel short and extended stay model. With over 7,500 beds in the pipeline across Italy, there are clear indicators of a reviving and evolving market. The actual available offer, as estimated by Scenari Immobiliari, is around 50,000 beds, which is remarkably low given the scale of potential demand and when compared to the European average. 

Prominent Players Shaping the Italian Student Housing Market

The Italian student housing market, while experiencing certain challenges, is witnessing the emergence and growth of several key players that are significantly contributing to its landscape. These companies, each with their unique approach to student accommodation, are helping to meet the demand for quality housing among students in Italy.

Campus X: Campus X stands out as a noteworthy provider of student accommodations, with a strong presence in Rome, where it manages the substantial Campus X Tor Vergata featuring 1,500 beds. Expanding its influence to other cities like Florence, Bari, and Chieti, Campus X is known for its large-scale facilities that cater to the diverse needs of students.

Camplus: With an ambitious plan to grow its bed capacity from around 7,000 to a projected 10,000, Camplus is rapidly scaling its operations. It currently operates in several major Italian cities and is looking to expand beyond the Italian borders into Spain with a new facility in Pamplona.

Hines: As one of the largest private real estate investment and development companies in the world, Hines has shown a significant interest in the Italian student housing market. The company has invested in development sites for student accommodations in Milan and Florence, signaling its intention to play a major role in shaping the premium segment of student residencies.

The Student Hotel: The Student Hotel has successfully established itself as a major player in the Italian market, particularly with its hybrid model that blends short and extended stay options for students. After opening their inaugural building in Florence, they are expanding their Italian footprint with additional properties in Bologna and Florence.

Cdp: Cdp has contributed to the Italian student accommodation space through the development of projects like the one in Pisa, indicating a strategy to invest in the educational infrastructure in various parts of the country.

Fabrica Sgr: With approximately 4,500 beds under its management across Bologna and Turin, Fabrica Sgr manages substantial student accommodation facilities through its funds Aristotele and Erasmo, marking a notable presence in the Italian market.

Collegiate: Although not mentioned in the detailed text above, Collegiate is also a prominent player with plans to establish a notable presence in Milan by developing a large housing complex that targets the growing demand for student accommodation in one of Italy's most bustling university cities.

1 Market summary

1.1 Definition and Presentation

Student housing includes any official residency or accommodation a University provides to students.

These specific residencies generally consist of a building or a group of buildings which are entirely inhabited by students.

There are usually two layouts the structures can have:

  • Similar to apartments: multiple shared rooms, common areas, shared kitchen and bathroom.
  • Similar to hotel rooms: single rooms without kitchen, single or shared bathroom.

A common aspect to both structures is the presence of shared facilities which can be accessed by all students living there. Generally, those consist of both places for pleasure and for work/study. 

Student housing is a subsegment of the real estate market and represents an attractive investment. Indeed, investment volumes in the sector have grown considerably in recent years, increasing by 135% between 2014 and 2019 [Savills]. The market is expected to benefit from growing internationalization, changing students’ expectations and living habits. Indeed, in the past few years students have been moving around the world more than ever, so much so that in 2017 over 5 million students studied abroad. 

In Italy the number of students has historically been relatively stable. However, for what concerns student housing in this country, the industry mostly targets higher education students whose number increased by almost 5% in the past 5 years [Savills].

The COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy has had the side effect of emptying, from North to South, the rooms generally rented to students and off-site workers. Domestically, room availability compared to 2019 has in fact more than doubled (+149%).
