Global real estate company Greystar has agreed a deal to buy a 265-bed purpose-built student accommodation property called Copley Court in Cork from Elkstone Real Estate.<\/p>\n

The Cork deal further expands Greystar’s Irish purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) portfolio and brings its Irish PBSA portfolio to almost 2,200 beds.<\/p>\n

Greystar also has build to rent and PBSA assets across Dublin, Galway and Cork, as the platform continues to scale its presence in the Irish residential and student living sectors.<\/p>\n

Today’s deal was completed on behalf of Greystar Equity Partners Europe II (“GEPE II”), its recently closed pan-European value-add residential fund.<\/p>\n

The fund secured more than \u20ac2.7 billion of commitments and provides over \u20ac6.8 billion of investment capacity to support acquisitions and development across key European residential markets, including Ireland.<\/p>\n

Copley Court is Greystar’s fourth major investment in Ireland’s PBSA sector following the acquisition of Point Campus in Dublin in 2024 and the 724-bed Project Galaxy portfolio in Dublin and Galway last year.<\/p>\n

Since it was relaunched in 2019, Copley Court has operated at or near full occupancy. It will now operate under Canvas Student, Greystar’s pan-European student accommodation brand, joining a portfolio that spans seven countries across Europe.<\/p>\n

The property offers a range of amenities including a gym, private and group study spaces and a student lounge \/ games area.<\/p>\n

Claire Solon, Managing Director – Ireland, Greystar, said the latest acquisition forms part of the company’s continued investment in the Irish PBSA and BTR sectors, where structural undersupply against growing demand continues to underpin institutional investment.<\/p>\n

“Copley Court is a strong addition to our Irish student accommodation platform, and a clear signal of the capital we now have available to deploy following the final close of GEPE II. Cork continues to see rising demand for high quality, well-managed student housing, and this acquisition reflects our confidence in the city’s long-term fundamentals,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
