According to the fourth annual Investor Survey conducted by Savills and Savills Investment Management, involving investors who collectively hold €540 billion ($625 billion) in real estate assets under management (AUM), Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) remains the most sought-after sector in Operational Real Estate (OpRE) for the second consecutive year.
However, there has been a further rise in investors looking to target single family, co-living, senior living and care homes, pointing to the ongoing maturation of those sectors in recent years.
In terms of specific OpRE, the highest priorities for investors are:
PBSA – 58 percent (63 percent average across Savills’ 2023-2025 surveys)
Multifamily – 52 percent (71 percent)
Single family – 52 percent (44 percent)
Co-living – 50 percent (42 percent)
Senior living – 42 percent (37 percent)
Care homes – 42 percent (25 percent)
