Pakistan’s student population is growing rapidly! However, there is no safe, modern off-campus housing for university students. The country has over 2.5 million students and many of them move to urban cities for better education. This alone shows how there is a high demand for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). Yet, this sector remains untapped regardless of being a $30 billion market opportunity.
One Homes is the one helping to bridge this gap. We have recently announced the launch of an international-level student accommodation project–a first for Pakistan–in Lahore’s university district. This location is not just close to various top universities in the country but is also near everyday amenities, such as malls, hospitals and other recreational activities.
Building a Home for Pakistan’s Future Leaders
Studies show that 64% of urban residents aged 18-30 struggle to find secure, well-equipped living spaces. Female students, in particular, face significant barriers when seeking safe housing, which can impact their education and future careers.
One Homes is creating a first-of-its-kind community that ensures students have access to comfortable, secure, and well-connected living spaces. The first phase of our project focuses on housing for female students, providing them with a safe, supportive environment. Future phases will expand to cater to students across Pakistan, ensuring more young people have access to high-quality accommodation.
This project goes beyond just providing a place to stay—it’s about fostering an environment that supports academic success, personal growth, and a thriving student community.
A Smart Investment with Long-Term Value
PBSA is the most secure and high-return asset class in the world. This sector in the UK is valued at $110 billion and has over 90% occupancy rates every semester. Pakistan presents a similar demand but it is largely untapped—making it a golden opportunity for investors.
There has been an increase in students moving to cities for higher education, as the population grows by 3% each year. This is causing the rise in demand for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA). And, we are expecting PBSA to be among the top real estate investment opportunities in Pakistan as university enrollments continue to increase.
One Homes’ foray into the student accommodation market offers you to capitalise on this stable, high-growth market and create a positive social change. It not only delivers strong returns but also allows you to make a meaningful impact.
