York – 16 November, 2023 – As the demand for York student accommodation continues to surge, Modern Student Accommodation York (MSAY) remains committed to addressing the pressing housing shortages faced by students in the city. The recent initiation of a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) project by GMI Construction Group on James Street, York, highlights the gravity of the issue.
In 2022, S Harrison Developments secured a substantial £22 million contract and planning consent for student use, marking a pivotal moment for York’s housing landscape. The project aims to counter the severe shortage of suitable housing options for students, further underlining the urgency of the situation.
Local news reveals that the rental markets across the UK are experiencing unprecedented demand, and York is no exception. The city’s appeal is especially high among students, given its proximity to the University of York and York St John University. MSAY acknowledges the challenges this surge in demand presents and is actively participating in resolving the issue.
MSAY is dedicated to ensuring students have access to affordable, high-quality student accommodation in York. The company offers a range of student housing options, including collaborative efforts with local institutions aimed at alleviating the housing burden on students.
The forthcoming four-storey PBSA building on James Street will feature 108 studio rooms and 195 cluster bedrooms, along with communal areas such as living and dining spaces, a gym, a cinema, and shared working spaces. To enhance residents’ quality of life, the property will include extensive landscaped areas and a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly path, contributing to a sustainable living environment.
The completion of this project in spring 2025 will significantly ease the shortage of PBSA in York. Till then, let’s say thanks to MSAY’s commitment to making sure students have access to quality housing during their academic journeys. They have primarily three types of properties to choose from – 4 bedroom, 5 bedroom and 6-bedroom houses.
MSAY believes that every student should have access to safe, comfortable, and affordable housing, and the company is dedicated to making this a reality for students in York. In order to give students a variety of options at various price points and to maintain housing accessibility for all, the company is consistently growing its housing portfolio.
