Investor Details Founded: 2001
Acorn Holdings is a vertically integrated real estate business specializing in the development, operation, and asset management of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) in East Africa. Established in 2001, the company has grown to become a significant player in the region's real estate sector, focusing on providing safe, affordable, and quality housing solutions for students and young professionals. Their portfolio includes over 65 projects with a collective asset value exceeding $550 million, primarily located in Nairobi, Kenya.
The company's investment strategy centers on developing and managing high-quality rental housing that fosters community and supports the educational pursuits of its residents. Acorn Holdings operates through two primary entities: the Acorn Student Accommodation Development REIT (ASA D-REIT), which focuses on the development of new properties, and the Acorn Student Accommodation Income REIT (ASA I-REIT), which manages stabilized assets. This dual approach allows the company to address both the creation of new accommodations and the efficient management of existing ones, ensuring a comprehensive service to its stakeholders.
Acorn Holdings has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability and social impact, aligning its operations with various United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company has successfully issued green bonds to finance eco-friendly housing projects, reflecting its dedication to environmental responsibility. Additionally, Acorn Holdings has expanded its footprint beyond Nairobi, with plans to develop student accommodations in other East African countries, including Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Ethiopia, aiming to meet the growing demand for quality student housing in the region.
