The Carlyle Group's Pure Student Living completes construction of first scheme
Pure Student Living, a London-focused student accommodation brand formed in a joint venture between global alternative asset manager, The Carlyle Group and Generation Estates, has announced the practical completion of its first property, the 400-bed Pure Highbury, located in Finsbury Park, North London.
Pure Highbury has been completed in time for the UCAS university clearing process on August 16, 2012 and will be open to students for the 2012/13 academic year. The 400 bed private residential hall is located just two minutes’ walk from Finsbury Park underground station (zone 2) and within 20 minutes journey time of 18 London universities.
The building has been designed and completed following detailed discussions and interaction with existing students and tailored to meet the specific requirements and priorities of students living in London today, whilst the same time providing peace of mind through the property’s market leading security.
Pure Student Living offers students the choice of either study-bed or studio type en-suite rooms and uses a simple all-inclusive pricing structure which provides competitive, value for money packages that include 10Mb internet provision, all utility bills, a 24-hour gym and fitness center and contents insurance, as well as 24-hour security and dedicated maintenance and housekeeping teams run by a residence manager, all for between £215 and £255 per week.
Pure Student Living continues to progress its plans to develop a further three student accommodation sites, Pure Hammersmith site, the former Hammersmith Palais concert venue and nightclub, Pure City, a scheme on Goswell Road in Islington and Pure Bankside, on Ewer Street in Southwark. These developments are due to be delivered during 2013 and 2014 and, once completed, will extend Pure Student Living’s capacity to ca. 1,800 beds in London.
Pure Hammersmith will provide 418 rooms and is ideally located given the extreme shortage of purpose built student accommodation in West London. Ground works have already commenced on the site and the property, which will incorporate many features from the former iconic music venue, is expected to complete for the 2013 academic year.
Pure Bankside, in Ewer Street in Southwark, which is located close to major institutions including King’s College London and the London School of Economics, will provide 150 rooms designed as single en-suite studios and will be completed for the 2013 academic year.
