The Group works closely with higher education institutions in order to deliver high quality, well-located student accommodation at affordable prices in strong higher education markets. In 2012 UNITE won the South West Business in the Community Carbon Reduction Award for its environmental initiatives and the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) named UNITE as a regional sector leader for sustainability.
