At Xior, we are constantly investing in energy-efficient and future-focused student accommodation. Through innovative technologies, we are gradually reducing our environmental impact.
Technologies we use today:
In addition, we use 100% green electricity across our entire portfolio
Wherever possible, Xior opts to renovate and repurpose existing buildings. In this way, we minimise the use of materials, avoid taking up additional space and contribute to sustainable urban development.
One example of this is our residence on Zernikestraat in Eindhoven, which opened in 2024. This former office building was transformed into a modern student residence with space for 240 students.
We also think of our students!
At Xior, sustainability isn’t just about making our buildings greener, but also about creating healthy and inclusive living environments where our students feel completely at home.
Xior is committed to systematically reducing its climate impact through science-based targets. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which originated from the UN Global Compact.
Our climate targets are aligned with the Paris Agreement and support the pathway towards a future of no more than 1.5°C of warming.

Validation by SBTi confirms that Xior’s climate strategy is in line with international scientific standards.
