The acquisition marks Mapletree\u2019s first entry into Australia\u2019s student housing sector.<br><br>\u201cAustralia\u2019s student housing sector has attracted robust investor interest due to its large student population, limited supply and counter-cyclical features,\u201d said Mr Matt Walker, Chief Executive Officer, Student Housing, Mapletree. \u201cIn particular, Perth remains one of Australia\u2019s most undersupplied central business districts (CBD) for student accommodation despite being home to many prestigious institutions. Our latest investment reflects the Group\u2019s strategy to leverage our real estate capabilities to deepen focus on student housing as a core sector. We are excited about this scaling opportunity and look forward to delivering a top-tier asset that will greatly appeal to both students and investors.\u201d<br><br>Mr Matthew Liston, Executive Director in Alceon\u2019s real estate team said: \u201cWe are thrilled to be working with Mapletree, a leading institutional real estate investor, as it delivers its first student housing project in Australia. With support from the City of Perth, the Alceon team worked quickly to obtain the development approval for student housing. While Alceon will relinquish ownership of the land, the team is pleased to remain involved as the project\u2019s development manager and will leverage our local expertise to oversee it through to delivery.\u201d<br><br><strong>Prime location with easy access to transportation nodes and universities<\/strong>\u00a0<br><br>Situated in a major transportation hub in the CBD, the development will offer convenient access to transportation nodes including the Perth Underground Station, Perth Airport and various city bus services. It is also strategically located near the Edith Cowan University (ECU) (350 metres away) and Curtin University Law School (900 metres away). Notably, Perth\u2019s first city-based campus ECU City Campus, located within a 3-minute walk from the development, is set to open in 2026, drawing more students into the CBD. These factors, coupled with the City of Perth\u2019s ongoing CBD development plans in public transport, university expansions and urban renewal projects are expected to support the growth in demand for CBD student accommodation, further enhancing the development\u2019s value.<br><br><strong>Premier development with extensive amenities<\/strong>\u00a0<br><br>Scheduled for completion by 2027, the premier student housing development will feature an extensive array of quality amenities to optimise students\u2019 living experience. These include an open communal rooftop recreational area connected via a common lobby to outdoor lounge and terrace areas along with internal dining and game amenities with full-height external glazing maximising city views and beyond. In addition, there are green spaces for studying and relaxation, as well as leisure facilities such as an on-site caf\u00e9, gym, music room and cinema to promote holistic development. The development will aim to achieve 5 Green Star rating, certified under the Green Building Council of Australia\u2019s v1 rating tool.\u00a0<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since entering the student housing market in 2016, Mapletree has grown its portfolio to 79 properties with over 27,800 beds across the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK), Canada and Germany. Its previous student housing development projects included the 453-bed Westwood Student Mews in Coventry, the UK, and the 513-bed The Chestnut at University City in Philadelphia, the US.&nbsp;<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"2500\" data-id=\"25042\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/2025\/08\/0-property-20250821-075413.png?fit=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/17\/2025\/08\/0-property-20250821-075413.png?resize=2500%2C2500&amp;crop_strategy=smart&amp;zoom=1 2500w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/17\/2025\/08\/0-property-20250821-075413.png?resize=2500%2C2500&amp;crop_strategy=smart&amp;zoom=0.5 1250w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/17\/2025\/08\/0-property-20250821-075413.png?resize=2500%2C2500&amp;crop_strategy=smart&amp;zoom=0.25 625w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Artist\u2019s impression of Mapletree\u2019s newest premier 835-bed student housing development in Perth, Australia&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br><br>&lt; END &gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":25045,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_trash_the_other_posts":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"editor_notices":[]},"tags":[],"newsroom-category":[112,1135],"csr-category":[1011],"class_list":["post-25044","newsroom","type-newsroom","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mapletree marks entry into Australia&#039;s student housing sector with new premier 835-bed student housing development - MIPL Vietnam<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/vn\/?p=25044&post_type=newsroom&preview_id=25044\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mapletree marks entry into Australia&#039;s student housing sector with new premier 835-bed student housing development - MIPL Vietnam\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"AUSTRALIA \u2013 Mapletree Investments (\u201cMapletree\u201d or \u201cthe Group\u201d) has acquired a 1,398-square-metre land site along Wellington Street, Perth, Australia, where it plans to develop a premium 835-bed student housing asset.
