Temporary living is much more than a passing trend. It’s a response to socio-demographic changes and greater flexibility in the worlds of work and education. However, this segment’s target groups – young professionals, students, long-distance commuters and project-based staff – are currently seeing their lives disrupted by the pandemic. But the underlying long-term trend remains intact, though, as our recent survey of institutional investors shows.

In October 2020, in conjunction with Adina Apartment Hotels and Savills, we asked “To what extent will you invest in  temporary living in the future?” The results show that demand is and remains stable. There are no signs that investors are abandoning this asset class.

For our part, we remain active in the micro-living sector with its student apartments and micro-apartments, investing both in existing properties and in selected development projects in urban locations. This commitment is reflected in our dedicated team of experts, comprising investment managers, asset managers, portfolio managers and fund managers. Do you have any relevant investment projects? If so, we would love to hear from you.
