Portugal Student Housing (PBSA) Market Report 2026

A market with a real national bed aggregate, unlike some newer PBSA markets, but a widening gap: 26,000 national student beds (a global real-estate advisory firm) against 456,032 higher-education students give a 5.70% coverage rate, of which only 11,450 beds sit in the commercial PBSA layer used as this report's serviceable market, a 2.51% penetration rate. International enrolment reached 80,065, up 3.35% year-on-year, with EUR1.2 billion invested in student residences since 2019.
