The Future (Portfolio) comprises a mixture of cluster en-suites (66%), studios (24%), townhouses (6%), and one- to three-bedroom apartments (4%), and boasts a blend of domestic (c.45%) and international (c.55%) student occupiers.

Overall, it is estimated to generate a gross operating income (GOI) of £20.7m in the upcoming academic year, and strong rental growth prospects for the subsequent academic year.

Each asset includes amenities tailored to the needs of each location, including a cutting-edge gym for Loughborough's athletes, customised performance spaces for Guildford's dance and drama students, and dedicated gaming areas for Nottingham's e-sports enthusiasts.

The schemes also offer shared spaces, such as roof terraces, outdoor wellness areas, lounges, and study hubs.
