X1 Cheltenham Place Completes

At Knight Knox, we are thrilled to see the completion of X1 Cheltenham Place, a £44m luxury student accommodation development located next to the University of Salford’s Frederick Road campus. This marks an exciting milestone in our continued partnership with X1, the developers behind this project, and further strengthens our position as one of the UK’s leading investment specialists.

The completion was celebrated at an event hosted by X1, at which we attended along with Savills, Bridgestone, and Together Finance to launch the opening of X1 Cheltenham Place.

Cheltenham Place is X1’s 12th student accommodation development in the North West, and it sets a new standard in luxury student living. The development features 353 fully furnished apartments, including both studio flats and larger studios, all with premium fixtures.

With an array of fantastic amenities such as a fully equipped gym, bike storage and repair facilities, and high-speed Wi-Fi, it’s designed to offer students more than just a place to stay – it’s about providing a modern, comfortable lifestyle.

Samantha Jones, Marketing Director at Knight Knox, said: “We’re thrilled to see the completion of X1 Cheltenham Place – another luxury offering from X1 for students in Salford. Knight Knox has worked with X1 exclusively since 2012, bringing over 5,000 student and residential apartments to market in cities across the North West.”

“We are looking forward to the launch of Phase 2 once planning permission has been granted, which will allow us to continue to deliver high-quality student accommodation to our investors.”

Nick Sweeney, Chief Executive of X1, said: “Today marks a significant milestone with the official opening of X1 Cheltenham Place. Situated in a strategic area with excellent accessibility for both students and working professionals, the building combines convenience with modern living, making it an ideal choice for residents.”

He continued: “We have high hopes for the planning approval of our next project and look forward to working alongside Knight Knox again to bring another development to market.”

At Knight Knox, we’ve built a strong reputation over the last 20 years as investment specialists, and we’re excited to continue to offer high-quality student accommodation to investors. This latest project is a prime example of the type of investment opportunities we provide to our clients, offering a strong return and the security of investing in a market with ever-growing demand.

As we look ahead to the future, we’re eager to see Phase 2 of X1 Cheltenham Place take shape and to continue our successful collaboration with X1 on new developments. We remain committed to delivering exceptional student accommodation that meets the needs of both students and investors alike. Keep an eye out for more exciting opportunities from Knight Knox in the coming months!
