Just over a year after its launch, the platform dedicated to student residences created by Invesco Real Estate and DeA Capital Real Estate has welcomed the entry of Banque des Territoires in December 2025 and acquired a project to be developed in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
An investment that, according to indiscretions, totals around EUR 300 million.

The new project

It is a project of approximately 6,500 square metres - planned for 2028 - that will offer almost 250 student residences (some of which will be subsidized) in one of the districts with the largest number of schools and universities in the capital. The residence, located on Rue Albert, was designed by Hardel Le Bihan and will be developed by GA Smart Building, converting an outdated office building.

This operation, characterised by an architectural signature of primary standing, will offer students quality open spaces within buildings with ambitious environmental certifications (NF Habitat HQE - 7-star Excellent level), integrating a social component through the proposal, in particular, of intermediate rent housing, in line with public challenges related to housing accessibility. This residence will be entirely managed by the Italia operator Camplus, already responsible for the residences acquired by the joint venture in 2025.

In addition, the joint venture announces the signing of two pre-emption contracts for operations located in the Île-de-France, which should be finalised in the coming months, enabling it to approach the 2,000-bed mark, again under the management of Camplus, thus confirming its ambition to establish itself firmly among the leading institutional operators in the student residence segment in France.

The Platform

Launched against a backdrop of structural tension in the supply of student accommodation and investors' repositioning towards alternative asset classes, the platform aims to build a homogeneous portfolio centred on ideally-located new assets that meet the most demanding standards in terms of environment and quality of use. After an initial development phase of around a thousand beds, marked by several major regional acquisitions in 2025 in Saclay, Rennes, Toulouse and Bordeaux, the start of this year confirms the platform's ambition. This operation was the subject of bank financing provided by La Banque Postale, with the support of the notary firm Allez and the law firm Lacourte Raquin Tatar.

"The addition of this residence, located in one of the best locations in the centre of Paris," said Alexandre Rochet, director transactions at Invesco Real Estate, "strengthens the quality of our portfolio and, together with the two other Parisian assets currently under promise, will enable our platform to reach a critical size.

"This residence of significant size located in the Tolbiac district of Paris, surrounded by schools and universities," added Pierre Julin, managing director at DeA Capital Real Estate, "represents a unique opportunity for our platform, which aims to offer students quality accommodation in close proximity to academic centres.

"We are very satisfied with the development of this operation in student housing, which will allow us to enter France immediately as a major player," concluded Maurizio Carvelli, founder and CEO of Camplus. "A collaboration between private and institutional partners that testifies to our confidence in our student housing model, a model that has seen us work according to similar formulas for some time, particularly in partnerships with institutional players. A trust in the value of our work, now consolidated for almost 40 years, which has always placed the quality of student life at the centre".
