STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Our team’s diverse professional knowledge in social infrastructure produces substantial dividends.
The education industry is a substantial contributor to the Australian economy. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has confirmed international students generated $25.8 billion in 2016, $28 billion in 2017 and $ 31.9 billion in 2018. This demonstrates the consistent growth and importance of this industry to the Australian economy.
According to Deloitte Access Economics, the role of international education is enhancing the skills and productivity of the Australian workforce. It is estimated that Australia’s current number of international students will contribute over 130,000 skilled migrants to the workforce after they graduate. This increase in human capital would result in an increase to Australia’s GDP of approximately $8.7 billion.
Due to a lack of understanding surrounding the importance of the sector by financial institutions, property investment into Student Accommodation in Australia has led to off-shore companies taking possession of the Australian Student Accommodation market.
There is great potential for local investors to take advantage of this strong sector.
Mollard Property Group has completed extensive work in the Student Accommodation Sector. We have assisted several Student Accommodation investment groups and operators locate high quality sites in the best possible locations, highly suitable for Student Accommodation development.
Through our experiences, our Team has developed a strong understanding in building design and planning requirements for Student Accommodation, which has proven instrumental to the success of a development.
We have studied many financial management models, for both investment groups and operators, which can assist extensively in development planning and financial analysis for due diligence purposes.
