Ardian, a world-leading private investment house, and Rockfield Real Estate, a vertically integrated living platform, announce that they have completed a new investment as part of their pan-European strategy dedicated to Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), following their first investment in Florence last November and a recent one in Barcelona.
The building is a highly innovative and sustainable newly constructed property located at Via Serlio 26/2, in the center of Bologna, just 10 minutes from the central station and easily reachable from the city’s university district.
The seller, Stonehill, completed construction of the property in 2022. Stonehill was one of the first entrants in the Italian PBSA sector and has delivered 1100 rooms to date. It is also active in the Austrian and German student markets. It is about to start construction of two further student developments in leading Italian University cities, totaling 1050 rooms and has secured several further pipeline projects at an earlier stage in the planning process.
