OUR SECTORS

Residential Market

The private rental sector including institutionally managed homes is circa 1 million in Poland, less than 7.5% of the total housing stock. Institutionally owned & managed stock is circa 11,000 units, 1% of the private rental stock. This creates a massive opportunity to provide the security, comfort & flexibility of renting from an institutional landlord who is focused on providing rental housing in Poland.

Private Rental Sector

The institutional PRS sector, while still an emerging asset class, now has recognized & established operations in the market, bringing investors rental and operational evidence to support further investment.

We believe the potential growth is significant for this market, with a) 1million + units being offered in the private market under a wide variety of standards & landlord interference; b) the growing trend of young professionals choosing renting over buying; c) growing foreign student population; d) economic migrants; e) continued urbanization trends; f) process of household singularization; g) working from home trends since Covid-19; h) as well as the significant refugee migrants from eastern countries. The requirement for rental housing has never been more apparent

PBSA

Poland has the 5th largest student population in Europe yet one of the lowest provisions of student accommodation with total supply reflecting a provision rate of 10% with only 0.8% institutional PBSA. Since 2014, international students have doubled in Poland, and this upwards trend is expected to continue due to quality of life, transportation and excellent educational facilities.

While this is a relatively new asset class, there is limited competition, and we believe there’s an opportunity to create a best-in-class student house concept. In Warsaw alone, there are 240,000 students, of which 26,000 are overseas, with only 16.500 beds being offered.

Senior Living

This is an emerging segment of the market that we believe will be the new living investment opportunity with the right location and business model. Newly affluent middle-class want to provide comfortable living conditions for their parents.
