We’ve achieved a lot in a very short period of time. Our story starts in 1991 in Bristol. UNITE Group’s founder saw an opportunity in regenerating old office blocks that stood on prime city locations into student accommodation. During this period, student numbers were beginning to increase, yet the student accommodation market remained relatively untouched – a great opportunity for the UNITE Group. By 1995, the UNITE Group had 500 beds in Bristol. The company was already spearheading regeneration and capitalising on rising property values by acquiring up-and-coming city centre locations. Five years later, UNITE Group was fully listed on the stock exchange (UTG). Today we’re now home to some 38,300 students across 24 towns and cities. | Meanwhile, UNITE Group has opened two high-street letting offices in London and Bristol, and pioneered a state of the art production facility in Stroud, Gloucestershire, supplying factory manufactured bedroom and bathroom units for UNITE Group’s accommodation. We also recently unveiled the UNITE Group London Studio Collection – an exclusive range of homes in the heart of the capital: www.unite-students.com/london |
