The project, acquired from the John Laing Group, is a 25 year concession which runs until April 2036, and marks JLIF's 50th portfolio project.
Following the acquisition, the Education sector now represents 17% of JLIF's portfolio by value, based on the 30 June valuation (and adjusted for subsequent acquisitions).
