4 LOCATION Apollo House is situated on the corner of the Butts Road (B4101) and Albany Road, in close proximity to Earlsdon, the premier residential area of the city, with the Annexe situated across the road on the corner of Gordon Street. The buildings occupy a highly visible position close to the city central ring road, opposite Earlsdon Park which houses the Albany Theatre, national government offices including the Department of Education and MH Land Registry, as well as a Premier Inn and a recently constructed 262 bed Extra Care Facility. The buildings are located approximately 0.7 miles walk from Coventry University, there is a direct line bus stop outside Apollo House that takes 25 minutes to Warwick University and Coventry central station is 0.5miles walk, providing direct line trains to both London and Birmingham in under 1 hour. SITUATION Coventry is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands and the 10th largest city in England and 12th in the UK, with a population at latest estimate of 337,500, the fastest growing city outside Greater London. The local economy is home to some of the world s leading companies such as Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Tata Group, London Taxis, Severn Trent and EON. However it is the Universities that are increasingly taking centre stage, with Coventry being the only city in the country having two Universities listed inside the top 15 of the Guardian league tables for 2017/2018. With a total in excess of 54,000 students. In terms of purpose built student accommodation, the city has seen an explosion of development recently to meet the substantial under supply in the market, as well as a desire by the local council to see students moving from the historic HMO based offerings. Following a recent study conducted on the city s student accommodation, it highlighted a still unmet demand of around 3,500 student beds, taking into consideration all constructed and consented schemes. 3
