SHEFFIELD
With a total student Sheffield population is an economic of more powerhouse than 60,000, in the north Sheffield of England, recently attracting topped a list
of university towns businesses and globally cities that with could a high benefit employment from rate, more and purpose excellent built accessibility student a

low-carbon, and healthcare technologies.
The city centre has undergone a radical transformation in recent years and
offers a vibrant and cosmopolitan experience that rivals any European city.
Over 63,000 students study at Sheffield’s two universities, including more
than 7,000 international students. The city recently topped a list of university
towns and cities that could benefit from more student accommodation: the
universities are only able to provide 11,369 bedrooms to more than 46,890
full-time students, leaving a massive 76% looking for accommodation in the
private rented sector.
International students are a key driving force behind demand for quality
purpose-built accommodation and, with no cap on the numbers who can
study in the UK, Knight Frank forecasts this amount will increase by 15-20%
over the next five years.
Kelham Works directly meets demand from Sheffield’s young professionals,
who want affordable living in a trendy part of the city, and from international
students, who want safe, quality, purpose-built accommodation.

Centrally Located
CONNECTED CITY

region. It is at the hub of key road and rail
networks and close to the major UK business
centres of Manchester and Birmingham.
Located at the heart of the UK, Sheffield has excellent transport links whether you
are travelling by road, rail or air.
Trains
Sheffield has extensive rail links to all major UK cities. Manchester
is less than an hour by train and London is just 2 hours and 4
minutes away. Trains run from Sheffield to London every hour,
and up to three times per hour to and from Manchester.
Roads
Sheffield is connected to the national motorway network via the
M1 and M18 motorways. The M1 skirts the north-east of the city,
linking Sheffield with London.
Airports
Manchester Airport is an hour’s journey away by car, and just

outside London and provides direct flights to over 220
destinations worldwide – more than any other UK airport.

Sheffield:
A THRIVING ECONOMY
Sheffield’s economy has significantly transformed over the
last twenty years, with substantial improvements made
across a range of economic indicators.
New employment opportunities and businesses have been
created, the two Universities have considerably increased
both student numbers and capital investment, and the
city’s image has been radically reshaped with a series of
high-profile improvements to the built environment.
Jobs in the
City
increased by
22%
between
1995 and
2008
Home to
Boeing, Rolls Royce
& Siemens
The Sheffield City Region is at the forefront of the UK’s
industrial and entrepreneurial development and was
recently described by the Secretary of State as being “at
the heart” of Britain’s continued economic growth.
With an economy bigger than some European countries,
the Sheffield City Region is a significant financial power.
The area is home to almost 1.8 million people and has an
output of more than £24.7 billion per year.

Sheffield is a richly diverse, multicultural city that
has earned its reputation for being one of the
friendliest and safest in the UK.
A vibrant and
CULTURED CITY
The UK’s fourth largest city, Sheffield offers a unique blend of both urban lifestyle and
rural retreat. The city has been going through something of an ‘urban renaissance’ in
recent years, making the most of its grand industrial heritage and architecture, and
reinventing itself as a city of European significance.
Sheffield has something for everyone: a vibrant pub and club culture; high street and
boutique shopping; restaurants to suit all tastes; the largest theatre complex outside
London; art galleries; iconic music venues; and sports facilities, including three
climbing centres and the world’s deepest diving pool.
Yet a third of the city also lies within the beautiful Peak District National Park. This
combination of an exciting, bustling, cosmopolitan city within an outstanding area of
natural beauty makes Sheffield a truly unique and inspirational place to live, work and
study.

Investing in micro
APARTMENTS
Micro-apartments redefine urban living for city-dwelling young professionals who
want low cost yet high quality, boutique accommodation.
The micro-apartment concept is simple:
Affordable
High
specification
Energy
Efficient
In the heart
of the city
The micro-apartment has historically been popular with investment funds and
financial institutions due to the high yield potential: on average, micro-apartments
generate higher yields than those accrued in more traditional buy-to-let markets.
Micro-apartments also attract the student market, particularly post-graduate and
international students, providing a safe and quality alternative to halls of
residence.
Micro-apartments provide high specification luxury
living at affordable prices for today’s young
professionals and students who might otherwise be
priced out of the areas in which they want to live.
Student accommodation has out-performed every other asset
class in the UK property investment for several years, and this
shows no sign of slowing down as demand continues to
significantly outstrip supply.
Sheffield is home to 63,000 students, including 7,000
international students, but only has 11,000 university managed
accommodation places.
Micro-apartments such as Kelham Works therefore present an
exciting investment opportunity, filling a gap and contributing to
the city’s housing solutions.
Young professionals want high
quality, new build apartments with
en-suite bathrooms and great
facilities close to their place of work
7 5

The student accommodation sector was ranked
by The Times as ‘the top asset class in the UK’s
property market’ in 2012.
Investing in the
STUDENT MARKET
The student property market continues to provide stable and lucrative returns and
investor appetite shows no sign of waning, with over £2 billion invested in student
accommodation in the UK in 2013.
“Student property returns will
continue to outstrip traditional
asset classes into 2014”
The Knight Frank Student Property Report 2014
Demand for university places in the UK remains strong, resulting in a continued
oversubscription each year. Overall, universities receive 14 applications for every 10
places available: an 8% increase over the last five years.
Students are increasingly demanding high quality and secure purpose built
accommodation with great facilities close to their place of study. And they are willing
to pay more than ever for these benefits.
A shortage of this kind of accommodation ensures rental values remain high across
the board. Data from the National Union of Students shows that rents for
purpose-built student accommodation continue to rise above the level of inflation,
increasing by 53% since 2006.
International students are the driving force behind the demand for purpose built
accommodation and, with no cap on the number of students who can study in the
UK, Knight Frank has forecast that the number of international students in higher
education will increase by 15%-20% over the next five years.
This will certainly further boost demand for luxury student accommodation and
propel this investment sector from strength to strength.

Living and working in
KELHAM ISLAND
Kelham Island’s award winning pubs, The Fat
Cat and the Kelham Island Tavern, were
recently mentioned in the New York Times’
article “52 Places to Go in 2014”.
The Kelham Island Quarter is Sheffield’s only ‘urban village’, and sits just north
of Sheffield City Centre. The majority of the area is within a conservation area
that protects and proudly exhibits Sheffield’s industrial heritage and
architecture.
Kelham has an edgy, dynamic ‘SoHo’ feel about it, characterised by
warehouses converted into high spec offices and apartments, artisan
businesses and workshops, galleries, cafes, bars, restaurants and award
winning pubs. Its riverside setting and central square further add to its charm.
For ale connoisseurs, the Kelham Island Tavern is the only pub to have won the
coveted CAMRA National Pub of the Year Award for two years running.
The area buzzes with energy and has fast become Sheffield’s ‘place to be’,
attracting young professionals, couples and also families who enjoy its vibrant
sense of community.
Kelham is a unique and exciting space in which to live, work and visit, so many
may not feel the need to venture further! Yet it is well connected by excellent
bus and tram links to the city centre, universities and local colleges. The Peak
District National Park is also just a 10 minute drive away.
