Round Hill Capital, an international real estate investment firm, and NBK Capital have bought a 368-bed student accommodation development in the Liberties, Dublin 8. Round Hill said it planned to partner Summix on additional student accommodation developments in Ireland. This is Round Hill Capital's third student accommodation investment in Ireland, following the acquisition of a 145-bed development on Farranlea Road in Cork in December 2018. As well as student accommodation, it has plans to invest in Ireland's build-to-rent accommodation market. The Chicago-headquartered investment firm Harrison Street, along with Global Student Accommodation Group (GSA), last month said they were developing a 235-bed student accommodation property in the area.
