Located in Chania, the most beautiful city on Crete island, Greece, it is close to hotels and restaurants in the Maleme tourist area, and is only a few steps away from Maleme beach.

In the past year, the project was operating smoothly and renovation works were successfully completed. The pre-leasing work in 2020/21 is also proceeding as planned. The pre-leasing rate and rental growth are in line with the target. The average rent, rental rate and valuations are as well on the up.

The two student housing apartments owned and managed by Centaline US Student Fund are located in San Antonio, Texas and Athens, Georgia, where the outbreak of COVID-19 is relatively contained.

During this threat, the comfort and safety of all our student housing residents and staff remain our No. 1 priority. We have been taking several actions to ensure the safety and security of their students, employees, and residents.

Many research have found that the “Recession Resilience” of student apartments is very high. During the 2008 Global financial crisis, the rental return of student apartments were very stable and the asset prices did not fluctuate greatly.
