Our business model is demand-driven, so we acquire land for development in areas where our customers want to live; after all location is a key factor when students choose their accommodation.
Our properties are built on brownfield sites so we make extensive use of land / buildings which have often laid dormant for years’ and bring new life back into these areas and the surrounding communities.
We undertake an active planning consultation process, working closely with local authorities to identify the need for student accommodation within specific areas and ensuring our properties are designed to enhance the local streetscapes. We also undertake an active pre-consultation process, engaging with the surrounding community to understanding their views and address any concerns.

The delivering of new purpose built student accommodation has been found to bring wider regeneration benefits. Through building on brownfield sites in urban locations, many student accommodation developments have catalysed further development and breathed new life into city centres.
