Build to Rent Properties for Students

UniLodge offers Build to Rent (BTR) properties for students to reside in through our sister management company Essence Communities. BTR properties offer student residents a premium living experience with larger apartments, a range of outstanding communal amenities and close proximity to Universities.  Build to Rent options distinguishing themselves from traditional rental properties and from student offerings (PBSA) by offering a luxury living experience with a strong sense of community, excellent amenities and living areas. BTR properties are well-suited to individuals and families seeking a higher standard of long-term rental accommodation.

Build to Rent properties offer:

1. State-of-the-Art Amenities: including fully-equipped gyms, rooftop terraces, swimming pools, co-working spaces, and private cinemas and dining rooms. These facilities are designed to enhance the lifestyle of residents, making everyday living more convenient and enjoyable.

2. Superior Quality and Design: The construction and design of build to rent properties prioritize high-quality materials and modern aesthetics. Apartments are often equipped with contemporary fixtures, high-end appliances, and smart home technology. Some properties even allow for residents to customise the aesthetic of the apartment with paint colour, flooring and other options, to really make it feel like home*.
    
3. Professional Management and Maintenance: Essence Communities properties are managed by professional on-site management teams. Dedicated property teams ensure that the buildings are well-maintained, and any issues are promptly addressed with qualified technicians. This level of service contributes to a seamless living experience for tenants.
    
4. Community Focus: These properties are built with community engagement as a core focus. Common areas are thoughtfully designed to encourage social interaction, and regular events are organized to foster a sense of belonging among residents. The social component is a key factor as to why residents choose to rent a BTR property over a traditional private apartment.

5. Flexibility and Convenience: BTR properties may offer flexible lease terms, catering to a variety of lifestyles and needs. Additionally, they often include perks like concierge services, package handling, and even pet-friendly policies.
