University of Gloucestershire Student Accommodation

The University of Gloucestershire appointed Cityheart as their preferred Strategic Development Partner to provide 500 student rooms in Gloucester City Centre across two phases. Cityheart’s role involved the design, build, financing and long-term management/operation of the accommodation and associated facilities.

Phase 1 comprises 295 student rooms across four buildings, in addition to leisure and amenity space and a public car park. The scheme also improves public pedestrian links across the site, improving connectivity in Gloucester City Centre. Since completion in August 2018, Cityheart Living has managed, maintained and marketed the accommodation on behalf of Gloucestershire and Hartpury Universities.

The completed accommodation supports the University’s relocation of their Business School from Cheltenham to Gloucester, as well as accommodating the future increase in student numbers as the University expands.

Phase 2 delivered a further 198 rooms across two blocks with under-croft parking and was completed in April 2023.
