Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)
MCR Property Group targets operational PBSA assets with clear repositioning and value-add potential, focusing on schemes that can be enhanced through strategic investment, improved management, and brand-led refurbishment.
Entry price typically below £50,000 per bed
Assets displaying operational or reputational underperformance
Properties requiring capital expenditure or external wall remediation
Opportunities for reconfiguration, rebranding, or rent optimisation
Our proven track record in acquiring and repositioning PBSA assets allows us to identify underperforming stock and transform it into thriving, high-occupancy residences. Through the growth of our dedicated student living brand platform and the expansion of our in-house operational team, we are building a fully integrated capability that combines brand, management, and asset performance under one roof.
This alignment of ownership, operations, and brand experience enables MCR to act decisively, reposition efficiently, and deliver consistently strong returns for investors, while creating high-quality, community-led spaces that enhance the student experience.
