Xior Student Housing acquires building with 82 units in Leeuwarden

Acquisition value of EUR 10.8 million

Xior Student Housing NV, the Belgian real estate investment trust (BE-REIT) specialising in student housing in Belgium and the Netherlands, announces the acquisition of a reconverted building consisting of 82 self-contained units in Leeuwarden. The agreed value of the property is approximately EUR 10.8 million. This purchase was completed through the acquisition of 100% of the shares of the property company involved.

Acquisition of 82 self-contained units in Leeuwarden Xior announces the acquisition of 82 self-contained units located on Tesselschadestraat in Leeuwarden. This recently reconverted office building is known as "The Block" and is fully equipped with features including a digital key system, high-speed Internet connection and digital television signal, camera system,
etc. The students have access to a dedicated indoor storage space and shared facilities such as a bike shed and laundry room. The building also contains a commercial space on a long-term lease. 

The complex is located close to the city centre, with good connections to main roads and public transport. The Central Station and the bustling centre of Leeuwarden – European Capital of Culture 2018 – are both within walking distance of The Block. Likewise, Leeuwarden's various educational institutions can also be reached quickly by bike. Leeuwarden has a range of colleges and universities offering dozens of degreelevel courses (campuses of the University of Twente, University of Groningen, Wageningen University & Research, and various universities of applied technology). With around 20,000 students – a large number of whom are living away from home – the city offers major potential in a region with high demand for student rooms. Xior can also combine its management of Leeuwarden with its management in Groningen,
resulting in additional economies of scale. 

This property was acquired through the purchase of 100% of the shares in the real estate company involved. The price of the shares in the property company is based on an agreed value for the property of approximately EUR 10.8 million euro, and the expected initial yield for the transaction is approx. 6.3%. The transferor has provided a rental guarantee until the end of 2018.
