WHY INVEST IN CAMBRIDGE?
Cambridge is Europe's largest technology cluster and one of the UK's most resilient rental markets. Key indicators include:
* 6.4% annual growth in knowledge-intensive jobs over the past six years
* 627 life sciences companies
* 308.7 patent applications per 100,000 people - the highest in the UK
* Over 800 high-tech manufacturing companies
MARKET DRIVERS AND TENANT DEMAND
Cambridge continues to experience exceptional rental demand, driven by:
1: Home ownership affordability - affordability pressures and economic uncertainty are expected to push more residents into the rental market through 2026/2027.
2: Expansion of Cambridge's knowledge economy - The Cambridge Cluster - now includes 26,000 companies generating £47bn turnover, with major contributions from life sciences, healthcare, IT and advanced manufacturing. More than 5,300 knowledge-intensive firms employing around 68,000 people.
3: Student Demand - with several Cambridge Colleges within walking distance and with an open residential planning consent, this scheme would attract student overspill for those who can't secure College accommodation or do not wish to live on campus.
4: Major regeneration at the Grafton Centre - located directly behind Duke's Court - is undergoing transformation into a mixed retail and science/technology hub, delivering:
- new lab and office space
- over 2,000 new jobs
- revitalised retail and leisure environment
- new public square (Fitzroy Square)
This regeneration will significantly strengthen rental demand for residential accommodation from professionals and researchers.
