Investec Bank plc, a leading international financial services provider, has provided Moorfield Group (“Moorfield”), a UK-focused real estate fund manager, with a £26 million senior debt facility, to fund the development and stabilisation of a 204-bed purpose-built student accommodation (“PBSA”) scheme in Bristol.
Situated on Freestone Road, within the Temple Meads Quarter regeneration area, the development will deliver a mix of studios and cluster rooms, supported by best-in-class amenities including a gym, communal lounge, games area, study spaces, laundry facilities and landscaped courtyards.
Moorfield is targeting an EPC A rating and BREEAM Excellent accreditation, which reflects both Moorfield’s and Investec’s commitment to delivering sustainable, future-fit assets. It benefits from a prime location opposite the University of Bristol’s forthcoming Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, which is due to open in 2026 and will house the Business School, research centres and innovation hubs.
The development will be delivered by Tiger Developments (“Tiger”), with Watkin Jones appointed as main contractor. Tiger’s sister company, Host Student, has been appointed to operate the scheme once completed.
