Fresh has been appointed by The Conygar Investment Company PLC to manage its 693-bed student accommodation at The Island Quarter – its 36-acre £1.4 billion site in Nottingham.
Fresh, the UK’s leading specialist third-party manager of residential for rent, will advise on, mobilise and manage the upcoming purpose-built student accommodation scheme in Nottingham.
Student residents will benefit from the development’s new and existing restaurants and bars, as well as the ‘green river’ of outdoor space that runs throughout The Island Quarter, which is one of the biggest regeneration sites in the UK.
The scheme – set to be operational for the 2024/25 academic year – will also host Fresh’s signature Be Programme, offering residents a full wellbeing and social programme, with clubs and experiences to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and encouragement to engage with the wider community.
Fresh’s in-depth resident insight is being used to advise the design of the scheme and attract residents to the amenity spaces, studio and cluster flat layouts, back of house areas and external spaces. This will ensure that these areas are designed not only to attract the target demographic, but also to guarantee they work efficiently from a resident and operational point of view.
Welcoming the announcement, Strategy and Business Development Director at Fresh, Craig Bryant, said:
“This is a very exciting development that we are thrilled to have been able to shape into what will be a fantastic student experience. Being part of The Island Quarter expands our presence in Nottingham and gives us a role in this amazing development in this fabulous student city. As this is our first scheme with Conygar, we are looking forward to being able to demonstrate the Fresh Difference and to building a closer relationship with them into the future.”
Christopher Ware, Property Director at Conygar, said:
“One of the key things that attracted us to develop The Island Quarter was Nottingham’s two world-leading universities, both of which are experiencing a shortage of high-quality accommodation for their students. We’re delighted to be working with Fresh to bring forward this vibrant scheme that will be an excellent addition to The Island Quarter as the development continues to grow.”
