Sheffield is one of the most densely-populated cities in the UK, with over half a million residents in the vicinity but only 17,000 residents in the city centre. Furthermore, with a student population of over 60,000, the student market as well as the private rental market in Sheffield is also in high demand. There has long since been a chronic undersupply of both student and rental accommodation in Sheffield, which is why Bells Court is perfectly placed to ease this housing deficit. Aimed at attracting young professionals and students and alike, Bells Court will provide stunning modern apartments in the midst of the thriving and highly popular city centre of Sheffield.
The number of international students living in Sheffield has increased by 30% over the last 5 years, now making up one fifth of the student body. Sheffield City Council’s “Student Accommodation Strategy 2014-2019” Report, Feb 2014.
