A KEY STRATEGIC
CITY
Campbell House, Bristol
Unite’s newest Bristol property, named after one of
Bristol’s first Black ward sisters, is situated in the heart
of the city on the site of a former Georgian hospital.
Campbell House covers 109,000 square feet, following
an investment by Unite of £44 million. The property
spans six storeys and provides beds for 431 students.
The new accommodation – which is named after
Princess Campbell – provides a host of amenities for
students, including a gym, cinema, karaoke room,
dedicated study spaces, as well as indoor and outdoor
social spaces.
Campbell House has been developed in partnership
with the University of Bristol, which Unite has a longstanding relationship with. A 15-year nomination
agreement has been agreed to provide beds
for its students, covering 95% of the rooms at
Campbell House.
As part of the Group’s commitment to sustainability, the
site has been built with extensive solar panelling, as well
as air-source heat pumps, and the ability to link into the
district heating network. There is also extensive cycle
storage – with enough space for residents and their
guests to store a bike. The development has achieved
a BREEAM “Excellent” rating.
Bristol is one of our key strategic cities where the
company is well-positioned to meet demand from the
city’s 60,000 students. Home to two prestigious Higher
Education institutions, the University of Bristol and the
University of the West of England (UWE), our range of
accommodation provides plenty of options.
Campbell House adds to Unite’s Bristol portfolio
making it our sixth largest city by bed numbers
with opportunity to further expand our Bristol
portfolio through 1,300 beds in our secured
development pipeline.
