Uhr
  • THE FIZZ (stu­dent housing): avera­ge occu­p­an­cy 99% (98% in Ger­ma­ny; 100% in Aus­tria, Cze­chia, and the Net­her­lands).

  • 43% rene­wal rate year-to-date; wel­co­med more than 2,500 new ten­ants from over 120 count­ries.

  • HAVENS LIVING (urban living): 97% sta­bi­li­zed occu­p­an­cy going into Q4 2025; 650 ten­ants from over 70 count­ries.

Inter­na­tio­nal Cam­pus Group (IC), one of Euro­pe’s lea­ding inves­tors, deve­lo­pers, as-set hol­ders, and ope­ra­tors of stu­dent housing and urban living con­cepts, repor­ted a sta­bi­li­zed port­fo­lio occu­p­an­cy of near­ly 99 per­cent at the start of the 2025–26 aca­de­mic year this month. This marks one of the stron­gest let­ting cycles in the com­pany’s histo­ry and unders­cores con­tin­ued demand for short- and medi­um-term accom­mo­da­ti­on across IC’s port­fo­lio.

Across the THE FIZZ stu­dent housing brand, avera­ge occu­p­an­cy rea­ched 99 percent—98 per­cent in Ger­ma­ny and 100 per­cent in Aus­tria, Cze­chia, and the Net­her­lands. The brand achie­ved a 43 per­cent rene­wal rate year-to-date and wel­co­med more than 2,500 new ten­ants from over 120 count­ries, reflec­ting its glo­bal appeal and strong cus­to­mer loyal­ty.

The HAVENS LIVING urban living brand achie­ved 97 per­cent sta­bi­li­zed occu­p­an­cy going into Q4 2025 and is now home to around 650 ten­ants from over 70 count­ries. Year-on-year ren­tal growth across the port­fo­lio remains resi­li­ent and con­ti­nues to ali­gn with post-pan­de­mic trends, fur­ther vali­da­ting the strength of IC’s ope­ra­ting plat­form and mar­ket posi­tio­ning.

“Rea­ching 99 per­cent occu­p­an­cy across our port­fo­lio is clear pro­of that our pro-duct–market fit and ope­ra­tio­nal disci­pli­ne are deli­ve­ring excep­tio­nal results,” said Gawain Smart, CEO of Inter­na­tio­nal Cam­pus. “Our teams have achie­ved one of the stron­gest let­ting cycles in our histo­ry while also com­ple­ting a €313 mil­li­on refinancing—demonstrating both the strength of our plat­form and the con­fi­dence of our finan­cial part­ners. We’­re exe­cu­ting with focus and expan­ding our foot­print in Euro­pe’s most under­sup­pli­ed urban mar­kets.”

“We con­ti­nue to see struc­tu­ral­ly high demand for pro­fes­sio­nal­ly mana­ged stu­dent housing and urban living in Cen­tral Euro­pe,” added Patrick Hanisch, CFO of Inter-natio­nal Cam­pus. “Our prio­ri­ty is to iden­ti­fy new deve­lo­p­ment and con­ver­si­on op-por­tu­ni­ties in uni­ver­si­ty cities and metro­po­li­tan are­as that will streng­then our long-term port­fo­lio.”

In Q3 2025, IC suc­cessful­ly com­ple­ted a €313 mil­li­on refi­nan­cing, unders­coring len-der con­fi­dence in the com­pany’s ope­ra­tio­nal per­for­mance, port­fo­lio qua­li­ty, and long-term fun­da­men­tals. The refi­nan­cing enhan­ces balan­ce sheet fle­xi­bi­li­ty and pro­vi­des a solid foun­da­ti­on for con­tin­ued expan­si­on. IC also main­ta­ins a healt­hy acqui­si­ti­on and deve­lo­p­ment pipe­line, with seve­ral pro­jects in advan­ced nego­tia­ti-on and fur­ther oppor­tu­ni­ties under ear­ly-stage discussion—offering signi­fi­cant po-ten­ti­al to sca­le the plat­form in line with stra­te­gic prio­ri­ties.

The Euro­pean pur­po­se-built stu­dent accom­mo­da­ti­on (PBSA) and urban co-living sec­tors con­ti­nue to demons­tra­te strong fun­da­men­tals. Rising inter­na­tio­nal stu­dent enrol­ments, limi­t­ed new sup­p­ly, and per­sis­tent housing shorta­ges are main­tai­ning high occu­p­an­cy and sup­port­ing healt­hy rent growth across major mar­kets. Within this con­text, Inter­na­tio­nal Cam­pus’s solid ope­ra­ting plat­form, recent refi­nan­cing, and acti­ve deve­lo­p­ment pipe­line posi­ti­on it to bene­fit from ongo­ing demand and to deli­ver con­sis­tent, risk-adjus­ted returns to inves­tors.
