“BONARD and its staff gave us spiritual as well as rational inspiration for our co-living projects. Data transparency, deep knowledge and a strong belief in an industry perspective are the main highlights that come to my mind when describing BONARD. They also provide the flexibility needed – being global, they completely adapted to our local needs and our way of doing business! We are fully satisfied with our decision to involve BONARD in our project and we believe that is just the beginning of our future cooperation.”

“The student housing market is not transparent and BONARD is improving this. Good and qualified data is essential in order to be able to make good investment decisions for our clients in the student housing segment. As an Investment Manager, acting in 11 countries in Europe, I have found that BONARD’s data helps us be confident about taking the best investment decisions. Furthermore, regular face-to-face meetings improve knowledge for both parties. ”

“Working with BONARD allowed us to look at the analysed project from a slightly different angle. The ability to collect data is one thing, but drawing accurate and far-reaching conclusions from it is a real challenge. Two-way communication and the method of presenting the conclusions made the cooperation much more efficient. A personal visit by company representatives to summarise the analysis made a good impression on us and allowed us to refine the details. I can recommend BONARD as a reliable and professional partner.”

Plus, a great, down-to earth team to interact with. If BONARD did not exist, we would have to invent them.”

“Since the beginning of 2022, BONARD has acted as consultant to BLD in the extremely important BTR project BLD Living, which is new to the Bulgarian market. The expertise of the BONARD team helped us to create a comprehensive concept based on the international experience, good practices and research provided to us by our partner. As a result of excellent work by BONARD, BLD was able to plan the project in Bulgaria down to the smallest details and on time. BONARD's presentations fully met the tasks set in the assignment and, thanks to their precise analysis and strategic advice, we are prepared for a successful start in the Bulgarian market. In our daily communications about the project, BONARD employees demonstrated excellent presentation and organisational skills, professionalism and knowledge of the subject of BTR in Europe. We have no hesitation in recommending BONARD as a consultant or partner in any project, as the company lived up to our trust and expectations.”
