Scape

Our Co-Founder and CEO, Tom Ward, and Martijn Vos, CEO Europe at Scape & Morro, recently sat down with Jessica Middleton-Pugh and Green Street News: Europe to discuss our new fundraising drive as we expand our student accommodation and living brands across Europe. With the demand for quality student and living accommodation growing fast, especially in undersupplied markets like Italy and Germany, we see Europe as the next frontier. Building on the global success of Scape and Morro, we look forward to bringing a new wave of much-needed housing options to Europe's top university cities. As Martijn notes, this €500m is just the beginning - our vision is to create vibrant, future-ready communities for Europe's students through strategic developments, acquisitions and conversions. https://lnkd.in/gYnzgRVS ?

We are delighted to announce the successful financing of Scape King's Cross, a premier 60-unit boutique Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), located in the heart of London. With a loan amount of over GBP 20.2 million, this is the third financing we have provided to Scape, a leader in alternative living solutions for university students. This prime location offers independent and modern living for students attending the leading universities Central St Martins, UCL, SOAS and Birkbeck University. Alternative living, particularly in the student housing sector, is gaining momentum as urban areas become increasingly crowded and the demand for quality accommodation steadily rises. These innovative housing options offer students more freedom, space, and privacy than traditional dormitories. Congratulations to Scape on this milestone achievement and special thanks to all parties involved: Adam Brockley, Ronan Kierans, Matt John and Benjamin Walter #Aareal #RealEstateFinancing #PBSA #StudentHousing #AlternativeLiving #CentralLondon
