Maslow Capital provided a £35 million development loan to YourTRIBE, supporting the delivery of a premium Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) scheme in Walthamstow.
The project will deliver 224 PBSA units and 5,300 sq ft of commercial space, with practical completion scheduled in time for the 2026 academic intake. The development will help address the chronic undersupply of high-quality student accommodation in London, where demand continues to outstrip supply.
With just one available PBSA bed for every 3.6 students, London remains one of the most undersupplied student accommodation markets in the UK. Additionally, 44% of London’s student population is international, reinforcing the need for well-located, high-quality housing to support both domestic and overseas students.
YourTRIBE is rapidly emerging as a key player in the PBSA sector. Within its first year of operation, it has established key university partnerships, delivered two schemes ahead of schedule, and earned industry recognition, winning the #1 and #2 Best SE-London Property awards at Student Crowd’s Student Voice Awards 2024.
YourTRIBE’s developments focus on modern design and a holistic approach to well-being, offering stylish, high-spec accommodation and premium amenities. Residents of the Walthamstow scheme will benefit from concierge services, dedicated study hubs, vibrant social lounges, a state-of-the-art gym, and secure cycle storage, ensuring a best-in-class student living experience.

“YourTRIBE has a proven track record of delivering high-quality PBSA schemes, and their latest projects in Walthamstow and Greenwich are no exception. From prime locations to well-considered design, these developments reflect a deep understanding of what today’s students need to thrive. At Maslow, we value long-term partnerships with experienced developers who share our commitment to delivering outstanding living environments.

Rachael Gordon, Head of Deal Execution (UK & Europe) at Maslow Capital, commented:
“With London’s world-class universities attracting students from across the globe, the demand for purpose-built student accommodation continues to far exceed supply. Many students still struggle to find well-located, high-quality housing that meets their needs, and developments like these play a crucial role in addressing this shortfall. These schemes will offer students a best-in-class living experience, with high-specification amenities that foster community, well-being, and academic success. This is the kind of accommodation students deserve, and we are proud to help make it a reality.”
