Creating innovative green spaces in which to live has been urbanest’s way from day one. The use of biomass energy in our first community started us on our sustainable journey, and today we continue to build to the highest environmental standards. That is why all our new nests are targeting ‘BREEAM Outstanding’ and uniquely in the PBSA space, are being built to Passivhaus standards, where exceptional levels of insulation reduce emissions and air filtration keeps out allergen, noise and pollution to keep residents and staff safe and well.

But it is not just our environmental credentials that set us apart, out ESG commitment is market leading and at the heart of everything we do. We have aligned our business with the UN’s sustainable development goals and are constantly innovating to ensure that we are making student living better not just for our residents, but also for our valued investors, real estate agents, our university partners, local communities, our local authority partners, construction companies and all the other organisations who help us to plan, build and deliver London’s finest student accommodation.
