Student Housing, U.K. — In 2016, we acquired a portfolio of U.K. student housing properties and its management platform. The portfolio operates at or near full occupancy and is located near top-ranked universities with large student populations. In the U.K., universities are able to provide housing to only a fraction of their students. To take advantage of this demand, we are growing the portfolio through development and acquisition of smaller portfolios.
