International Campus Group (IC), a major investor and operator in student housing and urban living, has completed a €313 million refinancing package for nine properties in Germany. The deal covers seven assets under its “The FIZZ” brand and two “HAVENS LIVING” properties aimed at young professionals.
The financing was arranged with BNP Paribas and Société Générale as lending partners. It includes an initial two-year term, with the option of three one-year extensions, giving the group greater flexibility for portfolio management and future growth.
IC received legal advice from Gibson Dunn, Greenberg Traurig, and Stibbe Advocats. Additional advisory roles were held by EY (tax), CBRE (valuation and technical due diligence), and Marsh McLennan (insurance).
Patrick Hanisch, CFO of International Campus Group, said the refinancing ensures financial stability at a time of tighter credit conditions. “The agreement provides both flexibility and planning security for our ongoing development,” he noted.
Representatives from both banks highlighted the transaction as part of their ongoing commitment to support the growing student accommodation sector. Société Générale emphasized the group’s consistent strategy and strong market position, while BNP Paribas described the partnership as a continuation of its support for residential and purpose-built student housing across Germany.
The refinancing reinforces International Campus’s role as one of Europe’s established providers of professionally managed housing for students and young professionals, amid continued demand for affordable and high-quality living options in university cities.
