Summary:
- Unite Students received approval to begin construction on a £73m student accommodation project near its 600-bed Marsh Mills site, ending a year-long delay caused by the Building Safety Regulator. RG Group will lead the build, which includes 4,500 sq ft of affordable workspace and aims for BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings.
- The company advanced planning for a 511-bed student scheme on Kennington Lane, Lambeth, designed by AHMM architects, targeting a 2029/30 academic year opening. This mixed-use development will feature community and light industrial spaces, marking Unite’s first project in this prime Zone 1 location.
- Unite Students’ development pipeline now totals 10,000 beds across England, Scotland, and Wales, backed by a £1.9 billion investment. The firm is focused on delivering modern, affordable, and safe student accommodation to meet growing demand.
