Why Our New Student Accommodation at 71 Park Street is Different

If you’ve walked down Park Street recently, you’ll have spotted our major construction project and branded scaffolding at number 71. That’s because big things are happening – and we’re excited to share why Urban Student’s latest development is unlike any other student accommodation.

With construction powering ahead, we’re thrilled to be opening the doors to high-end student accommodation at 71 Park Street this September. Many of you may have already toured our show flat visuals, and if you haven’t taken the 360° virtual tour yet – what are you waiting for?

So… what makes 71 Park Street so different? Here’s everything you need to know:

A Building Reborn

At Urban Student, we don’t just build student housing – we breathe new life into classic buildings, restoring their full potential with our expert local team and contractors. (We also then manage all the properties in house too, but we’ll get to that later…)

71 Park St, once proudly standing slightly above its neighbours (thanks to the natural incline of the street), tragically lost it’s upper floors during the Blitz in WWII and they were never rebuilt – until now. We’ve restored the building to its original height and are bringing the new upstairs space back into use.

Designed for the Future

Not just restoration – but also innovation. The new apartments at 71 Park Street have been designed to meet exceptionally high energy-efficiency standards, making them not just modern but sustainable.

• Minimal Air Loss: Our airtight construction means rooms retain warmth, significantly reducing heating costs. With air loss scores around 1–2, we’re well ahead of the standard 3–5.

• Advanced Ventilation: We’ve installed the Slimline 150 MVHR system – a low-profile, energy-efficient heat recovery unit ideal for high ceilings. It’s Passivhaus certified and built with cutting-edge green technology.

• Quantum Fog Water Mist System: A safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sprinkler systems, and also meaning valuables won’t get water damaged in case of emergency.

Stylish Living, Thoughtfully Finished

Inside, it’s all about comfort, convenience, and contemporary design:

• Modern Finishes
• Fully fitted kitchens with dishwasher, oven, electric hob, extractor fan, and generous storage
• Washing machine facilities in every apartment

71 Park Street isn’t just student accommodation – it’s a new benchmark for what student living should be. From historical restoration to cutting-edge sustainability and premium extras, we’ve gone all in to create a place students will be proud to call home. We can’t wait for the big reveal!
