Elite UK REIT gets green light for Scotland student housing conversion

Following its development, the property will have a gross development value of $41.6m.

Elite UK REIT has received planning approval to convert Lindsay House in Dundee, Scotland, into a 168-bed purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) facility.

Additionally, the company has signed a development management agreement with Mys, a Scotland-based development manager and PBSA operator, to manage the proposed PBSA.

Mys is the United Kingdom’s first student living operator to be awarded B Corp1 status, which reflects its stance on delivering a “values-driven” living experience.

As of end 2024, Lindsay House was valued at $2.58m (GBP1.49m). Following its development, the property is estimated to have a gross development value of $41.6m (GBP24m) with a return on investment of around 18%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
