The Union Yard development was recently finished and we opened it officially on Monday 10 March. Union Yard has:

• Polden Studios - 128 student units, students' study and breakout space
• Burton House, a mix of 35 1-bed and 2-bed apartments
• Seacole Place, a mix of 47 1-bed and 2-bed apartments 
• Sheldrake House, a mix of 18 1-bed and 2-bed affordable apartments
• 12 flexible commercial and retail units on the ground floor
• Makers’ yard offering smaller creative workshop spaces for small and independent businesses
• New public square linking the High Street and Union Street

Across the whole development, there are 10 wheelchair-accessible apartments and 8 wheelchair accessible studios in the student accommodation.

Eighty-two of the apartments are going to be marketed by a local estate agent for private rent from Rushmoor Homes and 18 will be affordable homes, initially made available to people over the age of 55. We have kept ownership of the student accommodation and commercial units.
