Cathedral Court delivers on all fronts for the University of Derby, its thriving student community and the wider area.
The site of Catheral Court was previously earmarked for office development but failed to ever come to fruition due to a lack of demand. Our team realised the potential for Purpose Built Student Accommodation on the site and offered a stylish and innovative solution that was attractive to Aviva Investors and helped increase the supply of student units for the growing University of Derby.
The result is a sleek, stylish and contemporary student scheme that caters for a diverse and growing student community in Derby.
- Cathedral Court provides exceptional communal facilities and student-support services to help the university community thrive
- Cathedral Court won the ‘Property Deal of the Year’ at the Business Insider East Midlands Property Awards for providing an innovative solution to the demand for student accommodation
- The project was forward funded by Aviva Investors and delivered on schedule and budget, ready for students to move in September 2016
- Cathedral Court was Prosperity Capital's first purpose student accommodation scheme in Derby and has a gross development value of £20.3m
