 include 226 single bedrooms and a further 6 twin bedrooms. The
 development will also include amenities such as a social space, a
 gym and a laundry room.

Taking a closer look at some of the developers, Global Student
Accommodation (“GSA”) is building a 571 bed scheme at Brunswick
Street, also serving the Grangegorman campus. GSA is a global
investor in student accommodation and one of many foreign
investors that have entered the Irish property market in recent
years. Construction at Brunswick Street is expected to complete
in the second quarter of 2018. GSA is also involved in the 491 bed
development at Kavanagh Court on Gardiner Street (Dublin 1).
Kavanagh Court is well placed to serve both Trinity College and DIT
Bolton Street students.

Recent activity also shows a changing dynamic in the student

The outlook going forward is positive. After a prolonged shortage,
the market is responding and attempting to bridge supply.
This is a task made difficult by the growing number of students
entering third level education. Ireland has a young and fast

with a rapidly expanding middle class. For the Dublin region, the
combination of catch up on the supply side and increasing demand
suggests that the market will be an active one in 2018.
