Xior Student Housing acquires site with 247 units in Amsterdam

Total investment value of approximately EUR 47 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 site with three brand new buildings comprising a total of 247 units in Amsterdam. The deal has an investment value of approximately EUR 47 million. This allows Xior to strengthen its position in the largest student city in the Netherlands.

Xior successfully completed the acquisition of a site with three towers on Naritaweg/Barajasweg in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam. The buildings were completed in 2018 and offer a total of 247 units ranging from 23 m² to 52 m², with 94 parking spaces. The site is located near public transport and is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade through various redevelopment projects, with care being taken towards providing sufficient green spaces.

Two thirds of the buildings, which provide a range of options for students and young starters, are already rented out. The seller also provides Xior with a 12-month rental guarantee. This means Xior strengthens its position, and also becomes operational, in the largest student city in the Netherlands, where demand for quality (student) accommodation remains high.

Xior acquired the properties (under a continuous long-term lease) by means of the acquisition 100% of the shares in the relevant real estate companies. The price of the shares in these companies is based on the investment value of the real estate held by the relevant companies depending on the rental values. The total investment value of the underlying real estate is approximately EUR 47 million1 with an envisaged initial yield of approximately 5.6%.

Xior has previously worked with the developer for this project in Delft, Breda and The Hague.

Christian Teunissen, CEO of Xior: "This acquisition adds three brand new buildings to the portfolio that will immediately contribute to our results. It also launches Xior’s operations in the largest student city of the Netherlands, making this a perfect addition to the further expansion of Xior's growth and operations."
