High quality student accommodation experts Study Inn Group, based in Coventry, are to continue their expansion with a new development in Cambridge.
The company has completed the acquisition of one of Cambridgeshire County Council’s former head office buildings at Castle Court in Cambridge, and gained planning permission for 342 high-quality rooms in the 84,000 sq ft building.
Study Inn Acquisitions Director Sam Jefferson said: “’We are rolling out the Study Inn brand throughout the UK and Cambridge is a very important addition to our existing room stock.
“We are very pleased to have secured a long leasehold of this very well-located property. The room styles, communal areas and level of service will be new to the city and this will be a flag ship centre for Study Inn.”
The company has been announced as a member of the Coventry and Warwickshire MIPIM Partnership which attends the largest commercial development and investment show in the world in March.
Jefferson added: “We are keen to expand to other areas of the UK and the presence at MIPIM allows us to not only advance existing conversations but also form new contacts which have, in past years, proved very fruitful.”

The partners are Friargate, Jaguar Land Rover, The Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership, Barberry, Study Inn, CEG, The Coventry and Warwickshire Development Partnership, HOIRBA-MIRA, Coventry University, University of Warwick, City Fibre, Wasps, Deeley, Downing, Complex Development Projects.
