Student accommodation developer, Unite Group<\/a> has been given the green light for its 416-bed student accommodation development in Bristol city centre<\/h2>\n

Unite Group has received a resolution to grant planning permission<\/a> for the student accommodation in Bristol \u2013 including the conversion of the former Georgian hospital building into 62 rented residential homes (‘Old BRI’).<\/p>\n

The site occupies a prime location in the centre of\u00a0Bristol and will provide much-needed accommodation for students.<\/p>\n

Unite is in advanced discussions with the University of\u00a0Bristol<\/a>\u00a0for a long-term nomination agreement on the scheme.<\/p>\n

University Partnership talks<\/h3>\n

This forms part of a wider University Partnership discussion with the University of\u00a0Bristol\u00a0covering around 3,000 beds. This will include a large proportion of Unite’s existing operational assets in the city following targeted investments and the company’s 650-bed development in close proximity to the university’s new Temple Quarter campus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Old BRI scheme will generate a development yield of around 6%, reflecting the income visibility delivered through the wider University Partnership.<\/p>\n

The rented residential portion of the student accommodation in Bristol includes 20% affordable units. Unite will deliver the residential portion of the scheme with the option of retaining or disposing of the homes on completion.<\/p>\n

Richard Smith, Unite Students chief executive, said: “Bristol\u00a0is one of the\u00a0UK’s\u00a0leading university cities and continues to see strong growth in student numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to be working towards an exciting partnership with the University of\u00a0Bristol, which strengthens our long-standing and valuable relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cOld BRI creates new supply in a city centre location where there is an acute shortage of high quality affordable student accommodation.”<\/p>\n

Simon\u00a0Bray, director of campus operations at the University of\u00a0Bristol, added: “The University of\u00a0Bristol\u00a0has had a relationship with Unite for accommodation in the city for over 20 years. We are pleased that we had the opportunity to provide greater input in the design of the new offering and refurbishment of existing properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur priority is the needs of our students, ensuring they all have access to accommodation which provides them with real value for money. We believe the new arrangements with Unite will help provide this surety.”<\/p>\n

The new student accommodation in Bristol is expected to be ready for the start of the 2021\/22 academic year.<\/p>\n
