Integritas Property Group (IPG), a leading ethical property developer in the North West, is celebrating the completion of the long-standing Deakin’s Yard project in Newcastle-under-Lyme – a unique development, once known as the Sky Building, and now offers state-of-the-art student accommodation with shared facilities.
Partnering with Curlett Jones for student management and lettings, the completion of this project highlights the expertise of IPG in developing high-end student accommodation. It is also IPG’s biggest combined project with over 270 units within one development and showcases the growth and commitment of the ethical property developer, cementing its positive track record with investors.
Ideally located with immediate access to Keele University and only a short distance away from Staffordshire University and Royal Stoke University Hospital, makes it the perfect home for students in the town, with the first students moving in on 15th August.
IPG has established a solid reputation in the student property development sector, highlighted by its successful Bijou project and the recent launch of the Optima site in Bradford. These developments are transforming the landscape of student accommodations in the city and are delivering impressive rental yields for investors.
Deakin’s Yard is made up of 273 units – 122 studios with ensuites, 127 large studios with ensuites and kitchens, 10 one-bedroom apartments and 14 accessible rooms, and has proven to be a hit with investors, with all units now let and tenanted for the 2025/2026 academic year. Deakin’s Yard also provides a state-of-the-art resident gym, resident cinema, communal garden, bike store and study room for all its tenants.
‘Incredibly proud’
Mitchell Walsh, CEO of Integritas Property Group, says: “I’m incredibly proud to see the completion of Deakin’s Yard! This transformation is a significant step forward for Newcastle-under-Lyme and IPG.
“Having transformed the site from an unsightly eyesore into a space that will greatly benefit our student population, while also attracting investment opportunities to the area, everyone at IPG is over the moon that it’s ready to welcome students this August.”
