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 city
City of Nottingham
In line with our strategy to align with the strongest universities, we are expanding our portfolio in Nottingham. This includes two new developments which will help meet an increasing need for student accommodation in the city.
Two new developments in Nottingham
Nottingham is home to two high-quality universities, the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University with a growing population of some 64,000 students, an increase of 20% in recent years.
Unite Students already owns and manages approximately 1,900 students beds across three separate sites in Nottingham. We have planning approval for two further developments of 970 beds which will open to students in 2023 and 2024:
- Development has started on a new 700 bed development at Derby Road, adjacent to the University of Nottingham’s Jubilee Campus.
- Work will start later in 2022 on a 270 bed development which will retain part of the original property in Lower Parliament Street, close to Nottingham Trent University’s planned city centre campus development.
This second development will be primarily targeted at second, third and postgraduate students.

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.

Our suppliers
We work with long-standing contractor partners from the outset of each development. This ensures they are an integral part of the development team, contributing to design, risk mitigation and costing throughout the project. By taking this integrated approach, we are able to deliver accommodation schemes with market leading build costs and shorter lead-times without compromising quality.
