Christian Teunissen, CEO: "In the first half of the year, Xior once again proved that our specialised platform in student accommodation is performing solidly in a challenging context. The high occupancy rate, continued rental growth and confirmed outlook reinforce confidence in both our strategy and our market position. Recent transactions in our sector only confirm what we have known for quite some time: student housing is a resilient and highly attractive asset class. Xior's strong half-year results, combined with peak occupancy and a solid pipeline, pave the way for further growth. And we are achieving this entirely on our own strength: without additional debt or capital, our portfolio will grow by 11% to 23,000 units."
