## Resource

Elkstone’s new Queen Street Place student housing in Galway—345 beds, gym, movie room, downtown—hits a critical gap in Ireland’s student housing crisis, with a 40,000-bed shortfall looming. CEO Joe Bergin calls it a lasting contribution, marking Elkstone’s pivot from tech startups to real estate as they expand to 3,200+ units nationwide, with another 240-bed project launching by September 2027.
