Going British: Centurion acquires 1,906 bedrooms in the UK

It's a groundbreaking $165 million expansion into Europe's student market.

Centurion Corporation Limited announced earlier today that they are tapping into new markets and acquiring four existing UK student accommodation developments with a total capacity of 1,906 bedrooms.

The company enumerated the properties as follows: Manchester Student Village, Manchester Student Village South, The Grafton and Cathedral Campus, all of which are currently managed by MCR Property Group, a privately owned property company which invests in and develops commercial and residential property throughout the United Kingdom.

The four acquisitions are a short distance from the main Oxford road, the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan Universtity, Liverpool John Moores University and Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
