The Next Level in Student Living in Ireland

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTIONFollowing extensive market research on the student accommodation market in Ireland, UK and mainland Europe Iveragh Group has developed a unique brand that combines the pleasantness of ‘sweet’ with the homeliness of an apartment ‘suite’ to create the brand ‘swuite’.

The Higher Education Authority (HEA) has estimated that

25,000 new beds for students are needed nationwide and the

Union of Students in Ireland (USI) has stated that the current

lack of accommodation has forced some students to drop out

of college and has led to a host of negative situations among

students who do manage to stay in college. These include taking

on unaffordable leases, sleeping on friend’s couches or in poor

quality accommodation and commuting from other counties to

study in Dublin.

The demand for student accommodation impacts particularly on

the private rental market and the trends in that sector are reported

in a recent Daft.ie Rental Report which shows that rental costs are

increasing and particularly so in Galway and Dublin.

The most recent report from the National Economic and Social

Council (NESC) on the private rental sector (Ireland’s Rental

Sector: Pathways to Secure Occupancy and Affordable Supply,

which was published in May 2015, highlights the fact that

nationally about 305,000 households (19%) are renting from

a private landlord and the percentage of households renting is

considerably higher in Galway at 40% and Dublin at 34%.

Given the rent increases that have occurred in recent years, the low

supply of stock and the level of student households in the private

rented sector and the projected increase in student numbers over

the coming years, it can be argued that an increased provision of

designated student accommodation, both on and off campus, has

the potential, in the medium to long term to ease ongoing demand

pressures in the private rented accommodation sector. This could

potentially deliver real benefits for renters in the larger urban areas

of Galway, Dublin and Cork.

The Market

International Students

There has been unprecedented growth in participation in higher education in recent years and this is set to continue based on projections

in the ‘Report on Student Accommodation: Demand and Supply’ published by the Department of Education and Skills. These projections

estimate that demand will increase from nearly 168,000 students in 2014 to nearly 193,000 students in 2024. This increased demand

places pressure on existing infrastructure including an increasing demand for suitable student accommodation. The rapid populations

growth in Irish cities has created a situation where there is fierce competition for space to live in Dublin and in other cities that host third

level educational institutions throughout the country.

The Government’s International Education Strategy ‘Investing in Global Relationships’ 2010-2015* included

a number of targets to increase international students in higher education institutions and these have already

been achieved. The availability of purpose built student accommodation on or off campus is a prerequisite

for attracting new overseas students. In a recent report the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) stated that

international students, at the time of recruitment, demand guaranteed accommodation for at least the first

year. The projected increases in international students will put further pressure on availability of student

accommodation for domestic students.

Bed Space Supply and Demand

Location of Swuite Bohermore

Available Beds

Demand for Beds

SHORTAGE

Evidence suggests that students are having difficulty in sourcing accommodation in close proximity to their campus, particularly in large urban areas. The current demand for student bed spaces in both HEIs and private, is estimated to be just over 57,100 (public and private).

Future bed space development is based on data submitted by HEIs as well as an estimate of private off-campus projects. The projected bed space development would result in total available beds of 39,696 in 2019 and 43,496 in 2024 as illustrated in chart below (including private)

The property is located off Sean Mulvoy Road and Bohermore and is adjacent to Joyce Roundabout at Cemetery Cross. It is within walking distance of the City Centre and almost equal distance between Galway University and University Hospital to the west and GMIT Campus to the east. Galway shopping centre is only a five-minute walk.

Bohermore has a mix of commercial, residential and public amenity and is dominated by low rise (predominantly two storey) residential and off street multi-storey apartment complexes. Galway Sportsground and Galway Hibernian Soccer Club grounds are close to the property. Galway Shopping Centre also includes a multiplex cinema and other recreational amenities. This area is one of the main shopping precincts in Galway.

Galway really is a university city, with the NUIG campus being located in the heart of the city centre with all amenities on its doorstep and within walking distance. It is a vibrant place with a year-long programme of cultural and sporting festivals. Students

make up approximately 20% of the population in Galway and are an essential part of Galway life adding energy and colour to the city. The seaside resort of Salthill is always popular with residents and visitors and is within an easy access via bicycle, car or on public transport. Galway is a main node point on the popular Wild Atlantic Way and Swuite Bohermore will be a focal point on this journey offering secure bicycle and underground car parking.

TransportThe Bohermore area of Galway is server by a number of bus routes. Bus Lines 2e, 3, 9, 12 and 20 run close by and all public bus routes intersect close to our facility. Galway mainline train station in the city centre is also within walking distance of Swuite Bohermore. A national bus service also operates from a depot near to the train station.

The demand for student accommodation currently outstrips supply and this trend continues to 2024. It is estimated

that there is currently an unmet demand of about 25,000 bed spaces which has a significant impact on the private

rental market.

Aparthotel Rental Schedule

Summer lettings provides additional low cost bed accommodation for incoming tourists. Separately there are other students seeking shorter term durations such as incoming Erasmus students. Private language schools would further impact on demand.

A Failte Ireland report states ‘The demand for Irish tourism services was buoyant in 2014 and 2015 aided by a benign economic environment. Thus, the tourism sector in Ireland has returned to positive growth, and a number of key factors have contributed to this. These include the recent return to overall economic growth in Ireland, and in key overseas tourism markets, as well as trends in exchange rate movements and inflation that have enhanced price competitiveness’.

Why Choose an Aparthotel?Whether you travel often or infrequently it makes sense to know about all the different options for accommodation, many experienced travellers find themselves returning to aparthotels as they combine the best parts of a hotel with a luxury apartment. Your swuite will be outfitted with a kitchenette, living space and double bed to make it really feel like a home away from home.

The benefits of an aparthotel are plentiful, including:

• Travellers for business or leisure find constantly eating out to be too expensive or too monotonous, especially when travelling alone, and so they would rather have a fully equipped kitchen to cook in

• Families with children are looking for all the comforts of home, in a place where everyone can have a separate room as well as shared space

• Colleagues or friends travelling together require their own bedrooms as well as lounge and kitchen areas with the benefit of additional communal spaces to meet up in the evenings

• An aparthotel will afford you the space to spread out along with the essentials for longer stays such as laundry facilities

• Serviced apartments are more cost-effective than a luxury hotel over the longer term.

Marketing the Aparthotel

Swuite Bohermore will be extensively advertised and marketed through social media and booking engine websites to complement www.swuite.com and its booking engine. The many events and festivals that are hosted in Galway including the Galway Races, Galway Arts Festival and the Oyster Festival will be well served by Swuite Bohermore. Cycle tourism along the Wild Atlantic Way will be a very important market for the aparthotel accommodation.

Many universities in Ireland rank impressively well at international level, and the country as a whole is understandably a popular choice for international students. The varied selectionof higher education institutions combines with historic cities, beautiful countryside and Ireland’s unique culture to make the country a highly attractive study destination.

Galway: A Few Facts Education Hub• NUIG is internationally recognised for its excellence, and is counted among the Top 2% of universities

worldwide. In the past five years, NUI Galway has been the only university in Ireland to rise consistently in the most competitive World University Rankings. Both the QS and Times Higher Education Rankings have placed the University in a higher position year-on-year.

• In 2015 NUIG outperformed other Irish universities by securing the highest amount of funding during the first nine months of the EU’s Horizon 2020 funding programme.

• In May 2016, NUIG and the Gate Theatre announced a partnership to digitise the Gate’s archive, a major resource of theatre scholars and artists internationally.

• Four outstanding researchers at NUIG have been ranked among the ‘World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds: 2015.

• GMIT is regarded for its increased technical knowledge and skills which are recognised as essential prerequisites for further economic growth as was the promotion of innovation and enterprise. The Mulcahy Report recommended that the Regional Technical College in Galway be designated as the main centre outside Dublin for both craft and management education and training for the hotel industry.

• In a recent publication, ‘Report on Student Accommodation: Demand and Supply’ the Higher Education Authority reported ‘it is estimated that there is an unmet demand of about 25,000 bed spaces which has a significant impact on the private rental market’. The publication reported that in the main urban areas of Dublin and Galway the availability of accommodation in proximity to a campus is a prerequisite for attracting overseas students.

Galway City Experience• Galway has been designated European Capital of Culture 2020, beating competition from Dublin, Limerick

and the south-east. NUIG will be a key player in what will be a celebration of Galway’s unique spirit of creativity and our shared European culture.

• Galway City is a thriving, bohemian, cultural city on the western coast of Ireland. Along with being a popular seaside destination with beautiful beaches and long winding promenade, it also has a buzzing cosmopolitan city centre. The city is a joy to explore with its labyrinthine cobbled streets, colourful shop facades and busy café / bar culture. The city is also well known for its many festivals throughout the year with huge crowds gathering for the annual Galway Arts Festival, Races and numerous other events. Old Ireland is present too with turf fires and traditional music featuring in many pubs to compliment your enjoyment of a well-earned pint of Guinness. Take an evening stroll along the promenade and watch the sunset over Galway Bay or watch the salmon fishermen in the River Corrib from the perfect vantage point of the Salmon Weir Bridge.

• Galway city has experienced very rapid growth in recent years. Galway has a strong local economy with complementary business sectors, including manufacturing industry, tourism, retail and distribution, education, healthcare and services that include financial, construction, cultural, and professional. Most of the people employed in Galway work in either the commerce or professional sector with a large number also employed in manufacturing. Most industry and manufacturing in Galway is hi-tech e.g. ICT, medical equipment, electronics, chemicals). Tourism is also of major importance to the city which had over 15.8% of total overseas visitors coming into Ireland in 2014.

The Building

The site is located at Bohermore / Sean Mulvoy Road close to the major

roundabout junction at the eastern entrance to Galway city. The site is

bounded by mixed use commercial development. It is currently a vacant

three storey office building over basement carpark and planning was

sought to redesign and change the use of the building to provide a four

storey building over basement carpark at Sandyford Business Centre,

Bohermore. The total gross floor area of the building is increased from

2,257.06sqm to 2,805.37sq. The new development will comprise

77 professionally managed student and self-catering holiday

apartment suites comprising 65 single suites, 8 twin suites and 4

spacious one bedroom suites.

Full planning permission for the 77 student / holiday suites and

ancillary facilities was granted on 2nd November 2016. The building

was originally developed as an office block and was vacant for a

number of years. The existing design layout was recognised by The

Iveragh Group as being ideal for conversion into a hybrid student/

tourist accommodation hub. The building included a basement carpark

with 67 spaces and further space to provide dedicated bicycle parking.

The design concept was to provide independent living accommodation for students in self-catering suites in a number of sizes to cater for residents’ requirements and affordability. This accommodation can seamlessly transform into fully serviced self-catering accommodation for tourist visitors in the summer season.

The building will extend to 4 floors over single basement. The ground

floor is dominated by access routes and public spaces and the student

/ holiday accommodation are generally on the first to fourth floors

arranged in suites. There is a manager’s apartment on the fourth floor.

The building has been redesigned as an iconic structure in the local

landscape but does not overpower the streetscape. The redesigned

building enhances its presence as a prominent structure in this gateway

into Galway city. The mixture of façade treatments creates a blend of

interesting finishes.

Current Market ValueSwuite Bohermore will at the outset of the lease put in place a rent bond in the amount of e266,250 being 50% of the annual rent commitment. The rent bond will remain in place for the first two years of the lease and is designed to supplement any unlikely shortfall in rental income during the start-up period.

Student accommodation in the large urban centres is increasing in value due to the lack of supply and rising rents. The increasing value is evident by comparison to a conventional cluster type student apartment facility currently for sale in Dublin at a near 5% yield or circa €180,000 per bed space. SWUITE BOHERMORE is selling at a yield of 5.5% or circa €117,500 per studio apartment. The aforementioned represents excellent value and affords investors capital appreciation into the future due to rising rents and yield compression, i.e. yield falling from 5.5% to say 5.0% immediately increases the value of the apartment on the open market.

This can be illustrated as follows:

• Current selling price of a self-contained student studio apartment e117,500

• Annual Rental Income (5.5% of purchase price*) e6,465

• Yield compression from 5.5% to 5% has the following impact on property value

- A 5% yield based on an annual rent of e6,465 will value a self-contained studio

apartment at e129,300

Swuite Bohermore Limited will at the outset of the lease put in place a rent bond in the amount of e266,250, being 50% of the annual rent commitment. The rent bond will remain in place for the first two years of the lease and is designed to supplement any unlikely shortfall in rental income during the start-up period.

The rent bond will be lodged into a separate account and can only be accessed in the event of unlikely rental shortfalls. Owners will be kept fully informed in the event that the rent bond is accessed. Provisions relating to the rent bond will be legally documented within the lease agreement for each unit.

Iveragh Student Accommodation Ltd (ISA) was set up to address the severe shortage of purpose built student accommodation in certain locations in Ireland and in response, develop high quality purpose designed and built facilities in key locations that meet the needs of students and others. Through our intensive market research, it was identified that there was potential for dual use of suitably designed and constructed facilities to serve the student market during the academic semesters and the holiday/business market during the peak summer seasons.

The business cases of existing halls of residences in third level institutions and various international brands were studied and the market trends in the need/demand of suitable high quality accommodation were assessed. ISA possessed the capability and experience to deliver quality developments and set modest goals for delivery. These goals went beyond delivery of new purpose designed and build developments and extended to the management and operation of the completed facilities. To help facilitate our operations business ISA commissioned the design of a corporate brand and combined the pleasantness of ‘sweet’ with the homeliness of an apartment ‘suite’ to create the brand ‘swuite’. The new brand has been ‘Trade Mark’ registered and will be used to identify and promote each of our operations.
