Mapletree sells US student housing asset

The property serves Appalachian State University in the town of Boone.

Mapletree Investments has sold an 894-bed student housing property in Boone, North Carolina, United States for an undisclosed sum.

Temasek-backed Mapletree divested The Cottages of Boone from its Mapletree Global Student Accommodation Private Trust as part of a long-term goal to drive value and maximize returns to investors, according to an announcement on Thursday.

The property is situated off North Carolina Highway 105 and services students of the Appalachian State University. It features a range of amenities such as a fitness center, yoga studio, dry sauna, steam room, library, and conference rooms.

The deal was completed on 7 June. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

The divestment came after Mapletree booked a net loss of $577.2m in FY23/24.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
