flag Spain’s student housing shortage, driven by surging international enrollment, is fueling record investment and high returns.

flag Spain's student housing market is growing rapidly due to a 77% rise in international students over the past decade and a severe shortage of dedicated housing, with only 117,000 beds for about 622,000 students. flag Demand far outstrips supply, especially in Madrid and Barcelona, driving strong investment from global firms like CPP, Greystar, and Hines. flag Premium accommodations, often costing over €1,000 monthly, target international students, while local students face rising rents exceeding €500. flag Prime yields reach 4.5% in major cities—outperforming Spanish government bonds—fueled by Spain’s affordability, lower tuition, and more accessible migration policies compared to the U.S. and U.K. flag The sector is projected to see record sales in 2025, solidifying Spain as a top European destination for student housing investment.
