New data released by the Student Accommodation Council and Urbis shows strong growth in the pipeline of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) across Australia. Since Semester One last year, the national pipeline has expanded by 5,605 beds—an increase of nearly 20% in just six months.
With over 11,000 beds currently under construction and a further 24,000 beds approved or awaiting approval, the private sector is leading the charge to deliver much-needed student housing. This pipeline growth demonstrates investor confidence in the sector and highlights the critical role PBSA plays in easing pressure on the private rental market.
