We are proud to announce that urbanest and King's College London have won the Collaboration Award at this year’s #StudentPW Awards! 🏆 🤝   This accolade is a great acknowledgment of the strength in our long-standing partnership with KCL, and growth in nomination beds over the years. The award entry highlighted our ongoing collaboration on GradPlus, the KCL scheme which provides accommodation options designed specifically for postgraduate students.   The judging panel commented, “Your collaboration, focused on enhancing the postgrad experience, is a true game-changer in student accommodation. By addressing the unique needs of postgrad students, you’ve created a partnership that goes beyond housing, providing meaningful support and a direct, positive impact on students' lives.”   A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to this partnership’s success!

A poignant and thought-provoking urbanest Communities session yesterday on ‘Balancing Family and Career’. HR Consultant and author Debra Corey spoke about what balance looks like and 14 steps to master the art of balance. Facilitated by our Learning & Development partner Bridget Stanley, we also heard from a panel of our very own urbanest colleagues; Cameron Regis (Talent Acquisition & Engagement Partner), Cathy Ramsden (Group Tax Manager), and Joanne Mckenzie (Customer Support Assistant) on their personal balance journeys, and some top tips for us all moving forwards. A deeply engaging event on a topic that affects our own individual wellbeing in different ways. Thank you to the team at urbanest Westminster Bridge for hosting us, and we look forward to our next urbanest Communities event in early 2025!

We are thrilled to have been named winners of Best Heritage or Culture Project at the 2024 Building London Planning Awards for our Vine Street Roman Wall Exhibition! Sat within our urbanest City development, the exhibition offers a fascinating journey through 2,000 years of London history, displaying a segment of the historic Roman Wall built around the city. Submitted alongside City of London Corporation, Historic England and MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology), we are incredibly proud to have won this prestigious award. 🏆 BusinessLDN #BLPA24 #vinestreet #citywall

We recently enjoyed a wonderful afternoon celebrating our fundraising efforts for Battersea. Our Rising Talent Group raised an incredible £8,276 for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home by walking 22 miles across London and stopping at each of our sites, including urbanest Canary Wharf, our tenth and biggest property, currently under construction. This week we had the opportunity to meet the incredible team at Battersea for a fundraiser tour, across the road from the newly opened urbanest Battersea. It was great to see the facilities and hear more about the brilliant work being done by the entire Battersea team. Thank you to everyone who donated!

An extremely proud moment for us all at urbanest, celebrating being finalists for the Collaboration Award at the Student Accommodation Awards 2024 alongside King's College London! We are honoured to work alongside KCL, supporting growth of their student numbers each year and delivering a unique postgraduate accommodation offer through the GradPlus programme. It gives us great satisfaction to contribute to enhancing the postgraduate student experience in London, and we look forward to the continued success of our partnership with KCL.

This weekend marked the end of another fantastic turnaround period, during which we welcomed over 4,500 new students across our nine London communities. It’s always exciting to meet our new residents as we strive to actively enhance and support their university experience. The below video offers an insight into check-in day at urbanest Westminster Bridge for The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), while we were also delighted to welcome UCL students to urbanest King’s Cross and urbanest St Pancras on Saturday. A big shout out to our amazing teams for their hard work during this period. We know moving in can be a difficult and daunting time, so our site teams are on hand 24/7 to provide support to our new and returning residents. Wishing everyone across our communities a wonderful year ahead! #studentliving #studentaccommodation #PBSA

An exciting time for us over the weekend as we opened the doors and welcomed the first ever residents to urbanest Battersea! A brand-new building overlooking the iconic chimneys of Battersea Power Station, urbanest Battersea brings over 850 new student beds to London and provides sector leading energy-efficient student accommodation. Well done to the project and site team on delivering a truly remarkable building that we are proud to open to our residents. It's been wonderful welcoming students from King's College London and other London universities over the weekend, and we look forward to supporting their time in London! Here’s to an exciting year ahead! #studentliving #battersea #PBSA
