Student accommodation in London continues to grow in order to meet the market demand from UK and overseas students. With increased demand comes an ever growing demand for quality student accommodation that has good green credentials.

Hive student accommodation in Hoxton is an example of today’s modern accommodation offering landscaped rooftop gardens with an ideal view over London and the many bars and restaurants of the Hoxton and Shoreditch area and modern facilities to support the needs of today’s student population.

The property has easy routes into other parts of London being close to Old Street tube station (the Northern Line) and within walking distance of one of London’s main rail and tube stations, Liverpool Street Station.

With 220 student rooms available, Hive feels more like a small neighbourhood with a close community of students. Within the building, there are two bedrooms studios as well as flat shares of six en-suite rooms available. The many communal areas contain plasma TV’s and modern furniture to help maintain the community feel of the residence.

Great thought has gone into the personal living spaces with each area having its own super fast 20 MB broadband with a helpdesk, flat screen TV with IPTV feed, modern furniture and a hideaway double bed. All the studios are equipped with a fitted kitchen and a smart shower room.

Living in London is not cheap, and the fact that all utility bills are included in the price of the accommodation can help students with their finances during their studies.Heriberto Cuanalo, Director of Student Services explained, “Student accommodation in London is an incredibly competitive market, in order to compete, property needs to be modern, well priced and high standards within the personal living spaces and the communal areas.

The fact that Hive has a landscaped garden rooftop, bicycle sheds, CCTV and an in-house management team, helps to give the place a real sense of community. Building the community spirit is really important to our team here at CRM, it helps us to ensure we continue to deliver the high standards required in today’s student accommodation market, whilst ensuring that the building and its assets are maintained to the highest possible standards for future students.” Hive also has strong green credentials and has a 23% carbon reduction energy performance through solar water heating and bio-mas boiler which is powered by burning wood chips and can play an important factor to those looking to stay in eco-friendly accommodation where possible, a growing trend in today’s climate of environmental uncertainty.
