Urbis is excited to announce the launch of the inaugural Urbis Student Accommodation Benchmarks (USAB), an easy-to-use interactive benchmarking platform that tracks the Australian student accommodation sector for the first time.
Developed in collaboration with the Student Accommodation Council and the Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector, and in conjunction with the Property Council of Australia, the dataset will help investors, developers and other industry participants understand and plan for their next move in this growing asset class. Over 80 facilities have been surveyed nationally with hopes of growing this further.
USAB is the only source of comprehensive PBSA performance data in Australia, including:
-
- Existing supply
- Development pipeline
- Room mix composition
- Building amenity and parking
- Achieved room rents
- Occupancy rates
- Contract lengths
- Resident demographics
- Operating costs
- Parking provision
The Benchmarks provide a solid factual basis for reporting and decision-making and can be used to inform:
-
- Design of new developments
- Feasibility modelling
- Internal and investor reporting
- Rent setting
