Geographic Centre of Mass
Our strategic methodology uses the locations of Russell Group Universities as the ‘centre of mass’ for our sites. The prestigious nature of these Universities guarantees a consistent and high demand for student accommodation and also enhances the value of the properties due to a prestige premium. By pinpointing areas which correlate to a student bed shortfall in proximity to these Universities, Cassidy Group Ltd can capitalise on a market need and build in a secure financial foundation to our investments through reliable income.
Micro-Location
Once the target areas are identified, the next step is locating physical sites with potential for development, within a ten-minute walk of the University campuses, and excellent transport and amenity links, which is crucial to provide students the convenience of living close to their place of study, shops, restaurants, and other essential services; reducing commute times and enhancing their overall University experience; maximising appeal and potential income generation.
Occupancy Retention
Cassidy Group Ltd’s developments are designed with the goal of creating the most appealing student accommodations. This means building modern, comfortable, and safe living spaces that meet the needs and expectations of today’s students. High-quality construction, thoughtful design, EPC-A energy rating, and hyperfast fibre internet, are standard features of our properties. This attention to detail not only attracts students but also retains them, ensuring consistent occupancy rates.
Tools
In order to successfully analyse the market and identify the opportunities for investment, we utilise mapping software, land registry data, review student accommodation news and reports, and regularly communicate with Universities and local Councils.
Reputation
Creating accommodation for secure income-generating investments, by maximising net yield through the selection of location, and ensuring a quality design and construction, with excellent amenity and transport links, is excellent for repeat business, and ensures that we are able to drive a high standard in the PBSA sector, which improves the student experience, and improves the economy of the communities in which we build.

In the competitive landscape of Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) development, Cassidy Group Ltd stands out in selling secure income.
