Urban Campus Acquired by Goldman Sachs Asset Management — Real Estate M&A

Goldman Sachs Asset Management has completed the acquisition of Urban Campus, a real estate services other business in France, for over $100M. Urban Campus operates managed student and coliving residences, providing real estate services focused on purpose-built housing across major French markets including the Paris region, Bordeaux, and near Geneva. Goldman Sachs Asset Management acquisitions add a platform acquisition in the managed residential segment, aligning with a pan-European platform strategy for student housing and build-to-rent assets. The real estate services M&A is structured as a platform acquisition backed by a private equity acquisition approach, with Urban Campus receiving majority ownership while Nexity, Batipart, and co-founder Maxime Armand retain minority stakes.
