Alignvest Student Housing: Keep Building or Time to Sell?
內容大綱
Sanjil Shah, Managing Partner of Alignvest Student Housing REIT (ASH), faces the most significant decision thus far in his career: is it the right time to sell the company? Together with his partner Reza Satchu, Shah had developed ASH into the largest student housing platform in Canada in only a few years since its launch. Key to their success was the partners' decision to forego a traditional private equity structure and instead supplement initial investments of their own personal capital with that of high-net-worth individuals and retail investors. Their strategic intuition paid off, helping them emerge strong from the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually, in 2023, receive a buyout offer worth $1.05 billion. The timing was perhaps fortuitous: an increasing housing shortage, a sudden surge in interest rates over market capitalization rates, and brewing restrictions on international students all threatened to curtail further expansion. Factoring in additional pressure from investors, Shah wondered whether it was the right time to exit. And yet, their hypothesis had held strong so far. What if there was still room to grow? What if selling now meant pulling out too early? To sell, or not to sell? That is the question.
