Project Overview
Nestled in Newcastle-upon-Tyne's vibrant Ouseburn district, the St James’ Boulevard PBSA scheme represents a forward-thinking response to the city's booming higher education sector, home to over 50,000 students across Newcastle University and Northumbria University. This cutting-edge development, forward-funded by Q Investment Partners in collaboration with HG Living, will deliver 350 premium beds alongside exceptional communal amenities, including a state-of-the-art gym, dedicated study rooms, a cinema lounge, co-working spaces, and an inviting external courtyard.
Strategically located just south of St James’ Park—Newcastle United's storied home ground—and a short walk from the innovative Newcastle Helix district, the project enhances urban connectivity while prioritising resident wellbeing. Set for completion in summer 2025, it underscores Newcastle's evolution as a premier student destination, blending modern design with the city's dynamic cultural pulse.
