    [SINGAPORE] Property developer Wee Hur is planning to launch another student housing strategy in Australia, with planning underway for a potential rollout in the third or fourth quarter of 2026.

    The move follows the Singapore-listed company’s divestment of seven purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) properties under its first PBSA Master Trust (Fund I) for A$1.6 billion (S$1.3 billion) to global investor Greystar in April 2025.

    Wee Hur was able to monetise a substantial portion of its investment and re-allocate capital to new opportunities, while retaining a 13 per cent stake in the portfolio.
