Tiger Developments has begun construction on its latest purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development in Manchester.

Located on Carmoor Road within close walking distance of the University of Manchester, the new scheme will deliver 172-bedroom high-quality accommodation.

John Nesbitt, Executive Director at Tiger Developments, said: “We are delighted to begin construction on our latest scheme in Manchester, a city that has strong demand for well-located student accommodation. This development reflects our commitment to delivering sustainable, thoughtfully designed homes for students, while also contributing positively to the local community. Through our trusted student housing brand Host, we look forward to welcoming students in time for the 2027/28 academic year.”

The project is funded by Tiger Developments alongside funding partner Hampshire Trust Bank. Construction will be delivered by specialist main contractor GMI Construction Group, with completion scheduled for the 2027/28 academic year.

Andrew Dignum from Hampshire Trust Ban, said: “We are pleased to support Tiger Developments in delivering this high-quality student housing scheme in Manchester. By combining our shared expertise and aligned vision, we are bringing forward a well-designed and sustainable development that responds to clear demand in one of the UK’s strongest student markets.”

The scheme has a gross development value of £40m and on completion the property will be managed by Host, the operational business of Tiger Developments and one of the largest providers of student accommodation in the UK.
