Tiger Developments selected GMI for the Carmoor Road development which will provide 172 student bedrooms across a mix of studio and cluster arrangements.

Once completed, for the 2027/28 academic year, it will be operated by Host Student Housing.

Hampshire Trust Bank has provided funding for this scheme which will take shape over two interconnected buildings and targeted BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings.

Approximately 15% of rooms will be offered at discounted market rent.
