Enterprise Land and Capital Assured have launched Casa, a new AI-driven student accommodation platform designed to set a benchmark in student living across Europe. The platform will target six key markets: Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, France, and the Netherlands, with an initial pipeline of projects valued at €500m.
Working with internationally renowned Rafael Viñoly Architects, the platform aims to deliver fully serviced, high-quality residences that integrate contemporary design with smart technology. The residences will prioritise security, sustainability, and a strong sense of community. “Casa is designed to set a new benchmark in student living across Europe. By blending superb design, led by Rafael Viñoly Architects, AI-powered technology, and a strong focus on community, we aim to create a home away from home for students in some of Europe’s most vibrant university hubs,” said Andrew Thornton, CEO of Enterprise Land.
Enterprise Land, a UK and European real estate investment firm founded by Thornton, formed a strategic partnership last year with Capital Assured, a specialist in large-scale student accommodation. Capital Assured, led by Nicholas Turner, focuses on unlocking value through planning, repositioning, and development. “Casa will address student demands for sustainable, educational and personal growth to enhance the higher education journey. It's our business to offer a truly differentiated living experience that is environmentally and socially conscious, emotionally supportive and safe,” said Turner.
Rafael Viñoly Architects has a strong track record of delivering high-performance, sustainable architecture for academic and institutional settings, with projects including University of Oxford, New York University, and The University of Manchester. “Enterprise Land and Capital Assured are leaders in this growing sector and we are excited to help them bring this innovative, essential, and scalable product to market,” said Román Viñoly, Partner at Rafael Viñoly Architects.
With an ambition to extend the Casa brand beyond student housing into other living sectors, Enterprise Land and Capital Assured are positioning themselves at the forefront of European student accommodation investment.
