Description
Property and Invest are proud to launch our latest residential investment opportunity in the heart of Sunderland City Centre- Horizon. Consisting of 154 fully furnished apartments, Horizon gives all investors a 9% NET rental return for a 3 year period. Horizon presents a brand new range of self-contained studio apartments, designed to cater to students and professional commuters in Sunderland, the North's growing maritime city.
Why Sunderland?
Sunderland is a thriving city with a lot of opportunities for its residents with 80 international companies, such as Nike and Nissan, having relocated to the city, catering to over 25,000 employees.
Sunderland City Council is investing heavily into the city centre in order to breathe new life into this growing city. Redevelopment projects comprise a new £1.8 million public square which was completed in 2015.
The city boasts one of the UK's most notable digital clusters, having been awarded the title of UK Digital City in 2014. It recognises Sunderland's commitment to improving the lives of its citizens through the integration of digital and public services. Sunderland also serves as a vital transport corridor. Its central station offers direct links to London and Middlesbrough, whilst the recently opened Northern Spire bridge was finished as part of the Sunderland Strategic Transport Corridor plan.
Sunderland is home to over 277,000 people, the second largest population in the North East of England.However, in order to satisfy the city's growing demand for housing, Sunderland needs to build nearly 14,000 new homes by 2033. With limited buying options and rising prices, many households are turning to the private rented sector.
As a result of the surge in demand for rented property in Sunderland and the wider region, global real estate firm CBRE predicts rents in Sunderland will increase by 11% over the next 5 years.The University of Sunderland is one of the largest Higher Education providers in the North East, with thousands of students competing every year for limited spaces.
A report in 2016 that analysed the pipeline of accommodation, and the growth in student numbers in Sunderland, forecasted that as many as 4,090 bed spaces could be needed in Sunderland over the next 5 years. With the University of Sunderland seeking to attract more students by investing heavily in its facilities, the total stock of properties could diminish further, placing upwards pressure on the cost of student rents in the city.
