Developer reveals plans to extend student accommodation scheme

SNGgroup has revealed it is set to extend its Grade II-listed Stanley House student accommodation scheme in Nottingham city centre.

The original Stanley House, acquired in December 2017, was transformed into 107 studios and completed in 2019. Now, in response to what the firm is calling “growing demand for high-quality student accommodation”, SNGgroup has received planning permission for Stanley House Phase II, which will add an additional 45 student and service accommodation units by September 2025.

Stuart Singh, managing director of SNGgroup, said: “We are thrilled to announce the expansion of Stanley House. Our goal has always been to provide students with not just a place to live but a modern and secure home that elevates their university experience. Nottingham’s student population continues to grow, and we are committed to meeting that demand with high-quality accommodation that is both centrally located and fully equipped with the latest amenities.

“The demand for student accommodation in Nottingham has skyrocketed in recent years. This growth has made it crucial for the city to offer additional housing options. Stanley House Phase II will meet this need by adding 45 new units, designed to reflect the same luxurious standards as the original Stanley House, with high-end furnishings and fittings.

“The new addition will also feature a brand-new common area, available for both Stanley House and Stanley House Phase II residents, fostering a sense of community within the two blocks. The convenient city-centre location provides easy access to academic facilities, local amenities, and public transport, making it an ideal option for Nottingham’s growing student population.”

Stanley House Phase II is expected to complete in September 2025
