A Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing fund and Global Student Accommodation have announced a joint venture partnership focused on student housing.
GSA is contributing $1.6 billion of initial seed assets to the JV, with close to 15,000 beds across 21 states and 29 cities. These properties include GSA's existing US portfolio acquired in 2020, along with the recently closed acquisition of more than 8,100 beds across prime locations from coast to coast.
