What we do

Capitalising on our strengths

UNITE has developed a unique set of development skills and unrivalled expertise in acquisition, planning and off-site modular construction which give us real competitive edge, in growing our business.

We have also pioneered the professional management of student accommodation. We're using the most powerful market insight, to help us differentiate our brand, understand what students want and then we make it happen.

Our strategy

"As the more traditional sectors of the UK commercial property market enter a period of anticipated slower growth, we believe UNITE is well positioned to outperform, owing to the resilient nature of the student accommodation marketand our unique business model."

We're home to over 38,000 students across the UK and we've set our sights on growing our business in London and key university cities across the UK. Our strategy is to double net rent from our student accommodation portfolio over the next five years. Our commitment is to continue to lead our market and deliver shareholder value.
