Real estate investor Rockfield Real Estate has announced the acquisition of two plots of land in Madrid to construct new student residences. Located in two high-demand neighbourhoods of the Spanish capital, they will offer over 300 places and will open their doors in preparation for the 2027-2028 academic year, according to the Dutch company’s forecasts.

The first residence planned by Rockfield Real Estate will be located in the Avenida de América district, close to academic institutions like IE Business School. The second will be next to the M-30 ring road, in the Chamartín district, also close to several universities and research centres. Both projects are already under development.

Sustainability and energy efficiency
The student flats in both centres are planned to meet the highest standards of sustainability and to obtain the highest energy efficiency certifications. In the communal areas, they will offer a wide range of services with which the company aims to enhance the  living experience in the accommodation.

As Rockfield’s Investment and Developments Director for Southern Europe, Josep Franch Bellmunt, says, “We remain firmly committed to providing the best student accommodation in easily accessible, high quality locations”.

Structural demand for accommodation
By constructing its first two student residences in Madrid, Rockfield Real Estate is consolidating its position in this industry in Spain, where it already has similar accommodation in the province of Barcelona. The one in Tarrasa offers 369 places, and the one in the Catalan capital has a further 347 flats.

It will now reach a Madrid market including over 300,000 students with a high structural demand for accommodation. The implementation of these projects is part of the company’s strategic roadmap, which focuses on addressing the imbalances between supply and demand in the main urban centres.
