One Homes to Tackle Pakistan’s $30 Billion Student Housing Challenge
One Homes, a British real estate group with $435 million worth of projects under development in Pakistan, is stepping forward to address the country’s critical student housing gap through impact-driven investment.
With over 22.6 million higher education students, Pakistan faces a pressing need for modern, secure accommodation. Currently, no Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) exists in the market, which experts estimate to be worth over $30 billion annually.

In response, One Homes has secured a prime site in Lahore’s higher education district to create Pakistan’s first purpose-built student community. The location, surrounded by over a dozen universities and home to 100,000 students, is strategically positioned to meet the growing demand.
