	M3 began discussions with UNITE Group in 2003, and has since advised the company on creating a long-term funding model, helping to transform the business into a leading UK student accommodation developer and co-investing manager.



        	

	M3 helped UNITE Group source capital to fund the acceleration of its expansion program in two stages:


    
	
  • 
		A 2005-vintage, £70 million (equity) development joint venture with the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation1 to develop and operate student accommodation, primarily in Edinburgh and London; and
    • 
	
  • 
		Subsequent fundraisings in 2006 / 2007 and 2008 for the UNITE UK Student Accommodation Fund, a stabilized asset investment vehicle that has become the dominant conduit for institutional investment into the UK student accommodation sector and is the UK’s second-best performing specialist real estate fund2.
    • 




	As strategic advisor, M3 has raised approximately £500 million of third party institutional capital for UNITE Group, from 79 distinct UK, European and Asian investors3 across three transactions.
