Carter Jonas has expertise in all aspects of the purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector.

Our regional hubs are based in key student cities, and as such Carter Jonas has built up an impressive track record of advising on many student sites and of offering end-to-end strategic and tactical solutions across the country.

Student Accommodation

We start any project by identifying a suitable site, and then we advise on the planning and occupational market and how the proposed development can be funded.

Finally we work with clients to market and sell the completed investment.

Some of our clients

Dernford
Unite Students
Citigrove
Kaplan
Merchant Place
Study Inn

By forging close links with landowners and educational establishments in the cities in which we operate, we have a strong understanding of the key drivers behind what makes a good student site, where the demand in the market is and which investors currently have active requirements for up-and-let student stock. 

Working closely with our planning team, we are able to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ service for clients who have an interest in the student accommodation sector.

  • Residential, commercial and mixed-use development consultancy
  • Development viability/feasibility
  • Scheme formulation/options appraisals
  • Planning and masterplanning
  • Asset review

  • Disposal and acquisition
