GCP Student Living PLC (DIGS.L) operates as a real estate investment trust focused on student residential accommodation assets in the United Kingdom. The company invests primarily in purpose-built student housing properties located in and around London and the South East, targeting markets with strong supply-demand imbalances driven by international and domestic student populations; its portfolio includes high-quality assets such as studios and shared accommodations managed to deliver rental income and modest capital appreciation. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Exeter, United Kingdom, GCP Student Living was the first UK-listed REIT dedicated to this sector, with operations confined to the UK and investments advised by Gravis Capital Partners. In December 2021, the company was acquired by a consortium comprising Scape Living PLC, iQSA Holdco Limited (backed by The Blackstone Group), and funds managed by APG Asset Management in a £969 million cash transaction, integrating its assets into leading purpose-built student accommodation platforms; post-acquisition, the entity continues trading under its ticker with ongoing portfolio management, including efforts in 2025 to reduce exposure to the supported living sector through asset transactions by its investment adviser.
