Location and area

Bordeaux Bastide is located on the right bank of the Garonne in the city of Bordeaux, one of the fastest growing student cities in France. The Bastide district is part of a large-scale urban regeneration project and is rapidly developing into a vibrant urban residential area. Thanks to its central location, good public transport links and proximity to several universities and colleges, it is an attractive location for students from home and abroad.

The university city of Bordeaux has over 100,000 students, spread across renowned institutions such as the Université de Bordeaux and Sciences Po Bordeaux. The growing student population and the limited supply of high-quality, independent living space make Bastide a strategically strong location for modern PBSA investments.

Apartments

The project consists of 322 independent studios with an average surface area of 20 m². Each unit is fully furnished and has its own bathroom and kitchen, tailored to the living needs of students. Thanks to its modern finish and full-service living concept, the project offers an attractive alternative to existing student accommodation in the city.

Sustainability

Sustainability is central to Bordeaux Bastide. The project will be delivered with an NF Habitat HQE 7-star certification, energy label B and solar panels on the roof. In this way, the project actively contributes to the broader ESG objectives of Rockfield and its investors.

The high sustainability standards not only make the project future-proof, but also ensure lower operating costs and a positive effect on the well-being of the tenants. The development is fully in line with Rockfield’s Net Zero strategy and meets the requirements of the EU taxonomy.

Living concept

Bordeaux Bastide is designed as an integrated living environment where students can feel right at home. In addition to independent studios, the residential complex also offers attractive common facilities, such as modern study areas, relaxation areas, a gym and a central lounge.

The focus is on creating a social and safe environment where students can not only live, but also study, relax and meet each other. The operation of the living concept is focused on high service, a strong community and long-term occupancy, with an expected occupancy rate of 97% in the stable phase.
