About Harrison Street Asset Management

Founded in 2005, Harrison Street began as a specialist investor in alternative real estate sectors that were less institutionalised than office, retail, industrial and multifamily. Its investment thesis centres on assets supported by durable demographic and technology-related demand rather than conventional property cycles.

Today, Harrison Street Asset Management is a multi-strategy alternatives platform investing across real estate, infrastructure and credit in North America and Europe. Its real-estate focus includes student housing, senior housing, medical office, life sciences, self-storage and digital real estate, using closed-end, open-end and specialised vehicles.

The firm is especially strong in operationally complex, needs-based real estate where sector expertise and partnerships with operators matter. Its European platform also invests in build-to-rent and other specialised residential assets, while its broader platform adds infrastructure and credit capabilities.
