Student accommodation provider Prestige Student Living has launched its latest purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme – The Port on the Square, located in the heart of Bristol’s cultural and historical quarter. The scheme is set to welcome residents from September 2024.
Once complete, The Port on the Square will comprise 259 ensuites and studios. Located just a few minutes’ walk from retail hub Cabot Circus and the city’s significant attractions and harbourside, students will also be within easy reach of all local universities.
Residential amenities at the scheme include a cinema room, ample study and communal spaces, future-proofed digital connectivity, courtyard and gardens.
“We’ve been hugely impressed by London and South Capital’s vision for The Port on the Square development located in a very special part of Bristol. The Port on the Square is the perfect fit for our Prestige Student Living portfolio, featuring an impressive array of outstanding features designed to exceed today’s students’ expectations. Our onsite team will create the very best welcome for students joining us from September, ensuring they enjoy everything the city, and their new home has to offer.”
Scott Lewis, Chief Operating Officer, Prestige Student Living
Protecting the Grade II listed façade, developers London and South Capital are in the process of creating vibrant interiors and gardens, to modernise the 18th century space and fitting it in with its contemporary neighbours. Boasting historic architecture and protected green spaces, The Port on the Square sits nearby the lively food, art and music scene that Bristol has to offer.
“As custodians of this historically significant space, in the heart of a city with such a rich cultural tapestry, we’re delighted to reimagine The Port on the Square for the next generation of Bristol residents.
“Students choose Bristol for its great universities, vibrant atmosphere and impressive architecture. The Port on the Square brings together all of these making it an unbeatable place to call home.”
Raj Tankaria, Director, London and South Capital
London and South Capital have employed the services of Prestige Student Living to manage the property on its behalf. The Prestige Student Living team of dedicated onsite experts will offer a year-round student experience programme together with a safe, secure, and supportive environment where students can thrive.
