The Opportunity in Student Housing
Growing enrollment in top markets, a shortage of purpose-built student housing and a history of performing through market cycles make this a high conviction theme here at Blackstone.
“Our job is to see megatrends before they emerge and invest in the real estate assets that will benefit from the ways the world is changing.”
“We are high-conviction, thematic investors. We outperform by concentrating our capital in our best ideas.”
While Blackstone believes ESG factors can enhance long-term value, Blackstone does not pursue an ESG-based investment strategy or limit its investments to those that meet specific ESG criteria or standards, except with respect to products or strategies that are explicitly designated as doing so in their offering documents or other applicable governing documents. Any such considerations do not qualify Blackstone’s objectives to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
