Foreword by Kelly-anne and Frank

Representing a network of nearly 3million beds across Europe, The Class Foundation and partners has grown since 2011 into a strategic advisor and leading voice for the Purpose Built Student Accommodation sector. We continue to address the continent’s critical student housing shortage, with a vision of closing the unmet demand of 3.2 million beds by 2030, by unlocking a €450 billion investment opportunity for private and institutional capital.

We are working towards this long-term goal by professionalising the sector and empowering stakeholders from across public and private to work together. We are extremely proud of the industry leading ecosystem we have built and the impact our partnerships enables us to have, as we shape a better future for students living in Europe.
