York Street

The Fund has provided a £21.3m loan to Bridges Fund Management and Rok Property to fund the development of a 307-bedroom Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) development in central Belfast.

The York Street scheme, located opposite Ulster University’s new Belfast campus, which was opened by President Biden this year, will offer premium student amenities including a dedicated entrance lobby and reception, a podium garden on the first floor, a gym, an indoor/outdoor yoga studio, a games room, TV lounge, meeting rooms and informal study areas. Completion is expected in August 2024, ahead of the 2024/25 academic year. Ulster University is ranked in the top 200 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022 and expects to welcome 15,000 new staff and students to the City.
