Stoneshield Capital, managed by Filipe Morenés – the son of the President of Santander, Ana Botín – and Juan Pepa, has invested €50 million in acquiring two 500-bed university residences in Porto.

The two residences in question are Big City Asprela and Milestone Porto Asprela, according to an announcement from Stoneshield on Wednesday.
