Ric Lewis, CEO and Chairman of Tristan Capital Partners, said: “Student accommodation is becoming a mature and liquid asset class and is of increasing attractiveness to institutions based on robust and growing demand for more units of accommodation by the UK higher education institutions and a structural undersupply of purpose-built stock. The majority of purpose built beds are currently owned in small portfolios and there is expected to be further consolidation in the sector, which we are keen to explore.”
Investors forge ahead in the brave new world that follows formerly inconceivable political events.....It is these disjunctions that are energising property investors even amid the trepidation. As Ric Lewis, founder of private equity firm Tristan Capital Partners, said in Cannes: “All the headwinds didn’t kill us. Predictions of catastrophe have not come true.... We just have to stay light and keep moving.”
