Enterprise Land expands student accommodation platform with Capital Assured tie-up
Enterprise Land, a UK and European real estate investment company founded by real estate investment management veteran Andrew Thornton, has formed a strategic relationship with student accommodation specialist, Capital Assured.
The relationship will deepen Enterprise Land’s expertise in the European purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector and will broaden its relationships with investors in the key Middle Eastern and Asian markets.
Capital Assured is headquartered in Dubai and specialises in sourcing large-scale student accommodation opportunities where with its partners it unlocks value through planning, repositioning and development.
Capital Assured has established strong investor relationships in both the Middle East and Far East through its teams in Dubai and Singapore adding to Enterprise Land’s London and Zurich-based teams. Its CEO is Nicholas Turner, who specialises in the origination and funding of PBSA developments throughout Europe. He speaks five languages and works closely with investors and developers globally. Director, Sophie Brown, based in Singapore, trained as a Chartered Accountant with PwC before becoming a finance director and developing extensive experience in debt and equity raising.
Enterprise Land was launched in September by Andrew Thornton, the former Principal Real Estate Europe head, to bring together and work with companies specialising in the four factors of production, enterprise, land, labour and capital, to offer compelling, differentiated, European investment solutions.
With offices in London and Zurich, Enterprise Land will initially focus on investment and development in the student accommodation, data centre and logistics sectors, which are benefitting from tailwinds and offer mid-teen development returns.
Andrew Thornton, founder and chief executive of Enterprise Land, said:
“Our purpose is to build eco-systems that provide superior investment solutions to our clients. Capital Assured has established an exceptional network of potential development partners across Europe. It has used its background in technology to create AI-driven models that identify potential development sites often overlooked by the market”.
Nicholas Turner, CEO of Capital Assured, said
“Andrew and I have worked closely together over the last three years and are excited to formalise our activities. Enterprise Land’s expertise in understanding the needs of investors and delivering pan-European strategies enhances our ability to deliver new projects and expand our relationships”.
