Far East Orchard to develop housing for university students in UK

The 690-bed student housing is seen to be completed by 2027.

Far East Orchard Limited, said it will build housing for university students in Bristol, UK by acquiring a plot of land in the area.

For the acquisition of Plot 6 Silverthorne Lane, the hotel company said it entered a joint venture (JV) with Woh Hup Holdings Limited and Way Assets.

Under the JV, Far East Orchard will have an effective 42.5% interest in the development and will be mandated to fund its committed capital of $22.5m (£13.3m).

The site is located less than a kilometre from University of Bristol’s new campus, Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. The construction for the student housing is expected to be finished in five years.

This development also marked the firm’s fourth investment in Bristol, which is also one of the UK's leading university cities.

Far East Orchard CEO Alan Tang said the JV intends to expand their footfall in Bristol to back the city’s increase in student population.

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.
