Kelvin Esguerra Pagels from The SHURE Initiative (The Student Housing and University Real Estate Initiative) sends warm holiday wishes to you! At SHURE, we typically avoid formal titles, but Kelvin's role is similar to that of a Secretary of State. As a global leader, he has lived and worked in over ten countries, gaining invaluable experience along the way.

With great pleasure, the The SHURE Initiative (The Student Housing and University Real Estate Initiative) releases the results of its formal and thorough, first-ever global investor sentiment survey.   **Unlock Insights from 269 Respondents** Between December 10 and December 20, the SHURE Initiative engaged with 269 investors. The survey was prudent for SHURE to conduct in light of the significant changes occurring worldwide. Investors are navigating a complex landscape filled with crucial questions about the future. Have you deployed more capital in 2024 than you did in 2023? 37.21% of respondents answered “yes” 34.88% of respondents answered “no” 16.95% of respondents answered “about the same” 10.96% answered “I don’t know or unclear” In question #2, SHURE asked if “the fundraising environment is poor, favorable/positive, or neutral in 2024?” 36.59% of respondents said the fundraising environment was “favorable, more positive than 2023.” 34.15% of respondents said the environment was “neutral or about the same as 2023.” 19.51% of respondents said the environment for raising capital was “poor and more challenging than in 2023.” 9.76% of respondents said they didn’t know or were uncertain. In question #3, we asked about the interest rate environment improvements in 2024, specifically if recent cuts had “improved your ability to acquire real estate?” 46.34% of respondents answered “yes,” meaning the interest rate environment in 2024 had improved their ability to acquire real estate compared to 2023. 24.39% said the environment is similar to what it was during this period in 2023. 19.53% answered “no” 9.74% answered “unknown/uncertain.” Our results found that investors view the opportunities quite differently. The one issue they agree on is that the prospect of tariffs in the new Trump administration is the biggest or perceived challenge. We will unveil the results of the following survey questions in our SHURE Member-Only section: 1- Did you sell/exit more deals in 2024 vs 2023? 2- Have your overall operating costs increased more than inflation, less than inflation, or about the same? 3- Do you plan to increase your overall LTV in acquisitions next year? 4- What is the most significant or perceived challenge going into 2025? 5- If you invest in multiple asset classes, is your real estate allocation increasing or decreasing? 6- In the real estate arena, what’s your first, second, and third preferred asset class today? 7- If you plan to invest outside of your home country, where do you plan to invest?  8 – What type of investor are you?  9- How many assets are under your management?

It's Time for SHURE Initiative Wisdom Wednesday! Welcome to The SHURE Initiative (The Student Housing and University Real Estate Initiative), a global network of influential decision-makers in our field. Today, we're thrilled to feature insights from Oscar Lisa, a key member of the Investment Division at Fitzrovia in Canada. Oscar recently participated in an engaging SHURE Initiative event, and his expertise is invaluable. We are excited to share his insightful summary comments with you. Don't miss the chance to connect with Oscar—just scan the QR code in the video! Also, be sure to follow The SHURE Initiative (The Student Housing and University Real Estate Initiative) if you're involved in student housing or university real estate! *************************************************** SHURE stands for the Student Housing and University Real Estate Initiative, a global association created to unite leaders in post-secondary education and student accommodation. Our mission emphasizes the ecosystems within higher education and surrounding communities, highlighting the importance of academics, food services, transportation, and housing in student life and institutional effectiveness. **Join the SHURE Membership today and connect with global innovators for just $39!** The SHURE Initiative Membership is the most comprehensive resource for university planners, C-suite executives, and property technology leaders to share global best practices and strengthen business relationships. >>https://lnkd.in/ezs3 *************************************************** Oscar Lisa, an associate director of investments at Fitzrovia Real Estate, discusses the company's focus on developing high-quality student accommodations in Toronto and Montreal, with approximately 9,000 units in the pipeline and $10 billion in assets under management. Their successful project, Waverley College, became primarily occupied by University of Toronto students, achieving full occupancy within six months and 15% annual rent growth. Fitzrovia is now targeting sites in five key southern Ontario markets—London, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Hamilton, and Kingston—to replicate this model. Location is critical, with a preference for properties within a 10-minute walk from campuses. Their in-house property management enhances resident engagement, and they secure capital from large financial institutions. Challenges include acquiring land in smaller markets where landowners expect high prices. Despite initial concerns, Waverley College has experienced minimal issues, likely due to high rents and a studious atmosphere. Since 2018, they have been exempt from rent control, allowing for moderate annual rent adjustments to maintain good landlord-tenant relationships. #masterplanning #universityrealestate #universitydevelopment #postsecondary #highereducation #pbsa #pbsh #studenthousing #studentaccommodation #cre #college #university #P3 #studentliving
