Article posted on: 10 January 2021
Liverpool based property development and investment firm, Mount Property Group, has announced it has broken ground and started progressing Vista, its 241-bed student scheme in the heart of Sheffield city centre.
The site, in an enviable position in the heart of Sheffield Hallam’s masterplan, close to Fitzalan Square and next to the Sheffield Hallam Institute of Arts building on Pond Street, is being constructed by Mount Group Construction and is scheduled for completion for the 2022 academic year.
The 241 scheme consists of 228 en-suite rooms and 13 studios, with ground floor amenity spaces including a student reception area, study lounge, coffee shop and bike store.
The wider masterplan aims to deliver facilities and an estate that enables and encourages a new way of learning, researching and working in the expanding Hallam campus.
Talking about the announcement, Managing Director of Mount Property Group, Michael Chrysokhou, said:
“Sheffield is undoubtedly one of the country’s most notable university cities, a magnet for students and a centre for education. In such a central location to both Sheffield Hallam and the city centre, we’re anticipating this will be one of our fastest selling sites.
“Despite the short term challenges that operators are currently facing, it is widely accepted that the student accommodation market has the long term resilience to weather the storm, owing to the resilience of UK higher education market and the accommodation that supports it.”
Barry Horne, Director at Clancy Consulting comments:
"This exciting student accommodation scheme in Sheffield is our second with Mount Property Group, and continues the relationship following our involvement on Innovo House in Liverpool.
“Having graduated from Sheffield University myself, I’m thrilled to be involved with this new development, which supports Sheffield's buoyant student living market and will create a high-quality 'home from home' for students.”
