DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

We aim to have a development pipeline of more than 2,000 beds per annum,
creating high-quality accommodation in prime locations.

Featured Property

Our first postgraduate targeted scheme

We've reached a major milestone in the construction of our new 271-bed property in Nottingham.

The super-structure of Bromley Place, which is due to open for the start of the 2024/25 academic year, is now complete. The project team and stakeholders celebrated with a topping out ceremony.

This is our first new-build property designed for postgraduate students. It will include newly designed bedrooms, which include bathroom pods with larger showers, and host impressive amenity and study space, including a roof terrace.

Our joint venture

Newcastle University

We’re delighted to announce a joint venture agreement with Newcastle University to develop a 2,000-bed property. The long-term partnership will see us demolish the university’s existing Castle Leazes building and construct new student accommodation, for delivery in 2027 and 2028.

Joe Lister, our CEO, said: “Unite Students is uniquely positioned to help address the shortage of student homes through our long-standing and trusted university relationships, best-in-class operating platform and in-house development capability.”

Marsh Mills, Bristol

We've signed a build contract to develop a new circa 600-bed property in Bristol.

With total development costs of £75million, Marsh Mills will be constructed adjacent to the University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter campus, ready for the 2025/26 academic year
Half of the rooms have been pre-let to University of Bristol students through a long-term lease agreement.

Jubilee House, Strategy Box

Jubilee House, Stratford, London

Work is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2023 on the 36-storey, 716 bed scheme in Stratford, London.


The development will incorporate 65,000 sq ft of academic space, which will be occupied by the London Academy of Excellence (LAE) for an initial 35-year term, through the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Development pipeline in Edinburgh, Scotland

Abbey Lane, Edinburgh

A 298-bed development will support the ongoing regeneration of this area of the city and at the same time help to meet unmet demand for purpose built student accommodation in the area.
