We hope you had a good start to the New Year and were able to end 2014 on a relaxing note. The last year was a very successful year for Inter\u00adna\u00adtional Campus AG. We opened two new student residences, THE FIZZ+ Freiburg and THE FIZZ Berlin, and won three new attrac\u00adtive projects in Aachen, Freiburg II and in Co-logne for THE FIZZ Basic. With the Dutch market leader DUWO Stichting as the opera\u00adting partner, we invest with IC Nether\u00adlands B.V. into student accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtions in the Nether\u00adlands. <\/p>\n
With the founding of \u201cConsul\u00adting Cum Laude\u201d we bridged the gap between our core business, student accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtion, and hybrid advisory \/ market research services. Like the \u201cStar Alli-ance\u201d in the airline industry, \u201cNetwork Cum Laude\u201d is an interna-tional coope\u00adra\u00adtion platform of leading student housing opera\u00adtors and univer\u00adsi\u00adties. Newly we expanded our manage-ment team with the UK student housing expert James Granger who will oversee opera\u00adtions. <\/p>\n
The course is set for growth in 2015. We will open three new student residences in 2015 alone, THE FIZZ Frank\u00adfurt I, THE FIZZ Hannover and THE FIZZ Darmstadt, and manage around ten locations with more than 3,000 apart\u00adments. Further\u00admore our pipeline includes 20 new THE FIZZ locations with around 8,000 apart\u00adments. Our main objec\u00adtive in future: Appealing resi-dential propo\u00adsals for the students and attrac\u00adtive returns for our inves\u00adtors. <\/p>\n
A successful year 2015, <\/p>\n
Horst Lieder <\/strong><\/p>\n CEO Inter\u00adna\u00adtional Campus AG<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n Residences in opera\u00adtion <\/strong><\/p>\n THE FIZZ Bremen on the Univer\u00adsity of Bremen campus was Interna-tional Campus AG\u2019s first student residence in Germany. It opened around two years ago and com-prises more than 336 high-quality single and double room apart-ments with a kitchenette and a shower bath. The three-part build-ing complex has a concierge ser-vice, two seminar rooms and a communal kitchen. <\/p>\n In October 2014, THE FIZZ Berlin opened in very central Berlin-Mitte. The student residence was developed in a 50:50 joint venture with the group G\u00e4deke & Sons. The 212 apart\u00adments have 21 square metres on average and a bathroom and kitchenette. The special features of the complex next to the Spree river include a lounge in the laundry room and spacious cooking areas. <\/p>\n THE FIZZ+ Freiburg opened in au-tumn last year. The residence in the popular Z\u00e4hringen district of Freiburg is built accor\u00adding to the low-energy-standard \u201cFreiburger Effizi\u00adenz\u00adhaus 60\u201d and comprises a total of 149 high-quality single and two-room apart\u00adments. They were sold to private inves\u00adtors and the users and are excep\u00adtio\u00adnally large at 24 to 38 square metres. <\/p>\n Projects in comple\u00adtion <\/strong><\/p>\n In 2015, Inter\u00adna\u00adtional Campus AG will open three new student resi-dences. THE FIZZ Frank\u00adfurt I in Gal-lus will be the first. All 382 high-quality apart\u00adments in the convert-ed office building are fully fur-nished with a desk, bed, cupboards and a kitchenette.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n THE FIZZ Hannover with 303 sin-gle and two-room apart\u00adments in Hanover\u00b4s central Nordstadt dis-trict will be completed by mid-2015. The fully furnished apart-ments will have around 22 square metres on average and a concierge service will ensure the comfort and safety of the students \u2013 as in all THE FIZZ resi-dences. <\/p>\n THE FIZZ Darmstadt is due to be completed at the end of 2015. The property in the city centre consists of both new and old buildings total\u00adling some 340 apart\u00adments with an average of 21 square metres. <\/p>\n Planned residences <\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to the student resi-dences which are already in op-eration, there are also several planned student housing pro-jects: in Hamburg and Aachen, and additional proper\u00adties in Frank\u00adfurt, Freiburg and \u2013 the first THE FIZZ Basic \u2013 in Cologne. THE FIZZ Basic is a new sub-brand of Inter\u00adna\u00adtional Campus that combines an attrac\u00adtive stu-dent accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtion with lower rental prices. The apart\u00adments are a bit smaller, fully furnished and coming with a modern bath-room. An own kitchenette is not part of the apart\u00adment \u2013 instead of that you can find generous communal kitchens with inte-grated lounges on each floor. \n<\/p>\n Our pipeline <\/strong><\/p>\n Currently we are also in negotia-tions for new student residences in every important German uni-versity city: e.g. Aachen, Berlin, Bonn, Frank\u00adfurt, Hamburg, Co-logne, Mainz and Munich. The follo\u00adwing criteria are essen\u00adtial: proxi\u00admity to the univer\u00adsity and to the city centre, the reputa\u00adtion of the univer\u00adsity and the situa-tion at the residen\u00adtial market.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n Frank\u00adfurt am Main, the city of high-rise buildings, short dis-tances \u2013 and plenty of students. Last 2014\/15 winter semester, more than 60,000 students were enrolled at the Goethe Univer\u00adsity, Frank\u00adfurt School of Finance and other univer\u00adsi\u00adties. The Studen\u00adten\u00adwerk Frank\u00adfurt am Main offers just 2,400 beds in 18 diffe\u00adrent locations. Halls of residences funded by the church or other chari\u00adtable organisa-tions account for another 3,000 places and there are around 1,000 private apart\u00adments in the city. The Frank\u00adfurt Studenten-werk provides accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtion for just over 3 percent of the student popula\u00adtion. <\/p>\n Positive outlook <\/strong><\/p>\n Over the last five years, average rents increased by around 25 percent in Frank\u00adfurt. In 2014, the metro\u00adpolis crossed the thres\u00adhold of 700,000 inhabit-ants \u2013 and the popula\u00adtion is ex-pected to grow to up to 735,000 by 2030. Accor\u00adding to the City Invest\u00adment Index (CIII) of the inter\u00adna\u00adtional consul\u00adting compa-ny JLL, Frank\u00adfurt ranks no. 8 in the world in terms of size and attrac\u00adti\u00adve\u00adness. In 2012, more than 1.5 million people visited the trade fairs in Frank\u00adfurt. Even though around 22,000 new apart\u00adments were built between 2003 and 2012 and residen\u00adtial space was approved in 2014 to an extent not seen in 50 years, the housing market is likely to remain diffi\u00adcult for years to come. However, the high vacan-cy rate of almost 10 percent for office buildings bears enormous poten\u00adtial in terms of conver\u00adsion into student accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtion.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n What is the objec\u00adtive of the network? <\/strong><\/p>\n Inter\u00adna\u00adtional Campus estab-lished the coope\u00adra\u00adtion platform \u201cNetwork Cum Laude\u201d with the partner DUWO, the Dutch mar-ket leader that manages more than 27,000 student rooms. The objec\u00adtive of NCL is to promote and expand residen\u00adtial and ser-vice propo\u00adsals for inter\u00adna\u00adtional students \u2013 throug\u00adhout Europe. <\/p>\n What do the partners gain by this? <\/strong><\/p>\n The coope\u00adra\u00adtion platform offers partners like leading student residence and univer\u00adsity opera-tors and service provi\u00adders the oppor\u00adtu\u00adnity to bundle their strengths and services for the students\u2018 benefit. The key ad-vantages are e.g. improved ca-pacity utili\u00adsa\u00adtion at the respec\u00adtive locations, economi-cally optimised processes, a tar-get-oriented market approach, greater inter\u00adna\u00adtional mobility and a more inten\u00adsive exchange of knowledge at all opera\u00adting and strategic levels. This inevi-tably improves access to inves-tors. <\/p>\n And the plans of Network Cum Laude for the future? <\/strong><\/p>\n We want to gradu\u00adally develop NCL into an online market\u00adplace for the \u201cstudent lifecycle\u201d and are already in advanced negoti-ations with major national play-ers in diffe\u00adrent important count\u00adries. Higher educa\u00adtion is an exciting inter\u00adna\u00adtional market and we are looking forward to the upcoming discus\u00adsions!<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n 2.7 million students <\/strong><\/p>\n At the end of 2014, the Federal Statis\u00adtical Office (Statis\u00adti\u00adsches Bundesamt) announced that al-most 2.7 million students were enrolled in German univer\u00adsi\u00adties in the 2014\/2015 winter semes-ter. The ratio of new students was 57.3 percent, of which 50.1 percent were women. <\/p>\n Frequent reloca\u00adtions <\/strong><\/p>\n On behalf of EY (formerly Ernst & Young), market research insti\u00adtu\u00adtion Research Now sur-veyed 4,300 students on their future place of work. In the old federal states, 37 percent of those surveyed expected to re-locate after comple\u00adting their studies and in the new states the figure was 40 percent. Students in Bavaria, Baden-W\u00fcrttem\u00adberg and North Rhine-Westphalia had the highest career expec\u00adta\u00adtions. <\/p>\n Bavaria increases grants <\/strong><\/p>\n The federal state Bavaria again increased its finan\u00adcial support for student accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtion. The maximum finan\u00adcing amount per student apart\u00adment is EUR 32,000.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n Excel\u00adlent prospects for <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n student accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtion <\/strong><\/p>\n In a recent study, bulwi\u00aden\u00adgesa rated 68 German cities with more than 7,000 students in terms of profi\u00adta\u00adbi\u00adlity. Accor\u00adding to the study, at least 30 universi-ty cities have an attrac\u00adtive risk return profile and good invest-ment oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties. Munich comes in at number 1, followed by Cologne, Berlin, Frank\u00adfurt am Main, Hannover and Bonn. The top 30 also includes Darmstadt, Hamburg, Bremen, Ulm, Karls-ruhe, Freiburg, Konstanz and Aa-chen. <\/p>\n 28,000 more student <\/strong><\/p>\n apart\u00adments needed in NL <\/strong><\/p>\n Accor\u00adding to estimates, an addi-tional 28,000 student apart-ments will be needed in the Nether\u00adlands by 2020. In the North Sea coast region, around 660,000 students are regis\u00adtered at 13 state univer\u00adsi\u00adties and 38 technical univer\u00adsi\u00adties (as at the end of 2012). There are a total of 3.2 million rental apart\u00adments in the Nether\u00adlands.<\/p>\n \u200d<\/p>\n 500,000 more inhabi\u00adtants <\/strong><\/p>\n Between 2000 and 2014, around half a million people in Germany moved to the cities Hamburg, Munich, Frank\u00adfurt, Stutt\u00adgart and Berlin. <\/p>\n Positive develo\u00adp\u00adment in <\/strong><\/p>\n regional real estate <\/strong><\/p>\n In a study for Postbank, the de-velop\u00adment in real estate prices until 2015 was examined in all 402 German districts and urban districts. In most regions, the condi\u00adtions for buying houses and apart\u00adments are favourable. Po-tential price increases are ex-pected in nine districts in Bavaria and Baden-W\u00fcrttem\u00adberg, espe-cially in Munich and the sur-rounding area. The forecasts for M\u00fcnster, Dresden, Jena and Ber-lin are also positive. <\/p>\n \u201cHighly attrac\u00adtive\u201d market <\/strong><\/p>\n The current EY Real Estate trend barometer shows that 45 percent of the real estate inves\u00adtors sur-veyed regarded Germany as \u201chighly attrac\u00adtive\u201d. One of the main reasons was the higher prices for residen\u00adtial real estate. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We hope you had a good start to the New Year and were able to end 2014 on a relaxing note.
