New developments

We design, build and operate student accommodation and academic facilities, managing the entire project from drawing board to delivery. We work with the UK’s best construction companies and deliver on time and on budget.

Estate transfers

UPP will purchase part or all of a university’s existing residential estate and manage it on our partner’s behalf. This frees up capital that would otherwise be locked in to those properties, allowing the university to invest those funds elsewhere. We help many of our partners refurbish their stock and replace existing accommodation with new developments.

Asset management

UPP provides its university partners with a complete property management service that includes hard and soft FM, marketing, and revenue management. Local teams provide all on-site services including building maintenance, avoiding the need for sinking funds.
