Celebrating our Southampton Residents’ incredible support for the British Heart Foundation. - - - We are incredibly proud of the residents at our Southampton location, Southampton Crossings for the amazing efforts led by our Property Manager Julian Medd and his dedicated team. Together, they’ve raised an outstanding ￡12,660 for the British Heart Foundation (BHF), helping fund life-saving research that will make a real difference in the fight against heart disease. ?? From October 2023 to September 2024, our residents contributed a total of 844 bags of donations, which resulted in: - 70 bags collected from October 2023 – March 2024 - 774 bags donated during the main collection period (April – September 2024) Beyond the financial support from the donations, we’re also proud that 6.7 tons of items were kept out of landfill, demonstrating the positive environmental impact of these donations. ???? We want to extend a huge thank you to every resident who contributed and to Julian, Zoe and the team in Southampton for making this initiative such a success. This effort is a perfect example of how small actions can have a big impact, both on our community and the wider world. ?? - - - #BHF #CommunityImpact #Sustainability #Charity #PBSA #StudentAccommodation #Fundraising #HeartResearch #EnvironmentalImpact #Southampton #GivingBack

Host. and Partners Group launch Habito Co-Living with Guildford Plaza. Located in the heart of Guildford, Guildford Plaza is spread over 11,000 sq m, across four buildings, delivering a high-quality housing solution to serve local demand and the wider London commuter belt. Of the 301 apartments, 67 will be offered to key workers at a 20% discount to market rent. The modern apartments on flexible, all-inclusive terms, with residents benefitting from numerous facilities and activities such as a gym, yoga studio, co-working spaces, and cinema rooms. The apartments are a 5-minute walk to Guildford Town Centre and Railway Station, with London just over 30 minutes by rail. Construction is well underway on Guildford Plaza, and Partners Group, Host and main contractor CField Construction recently marked significant progress towards completion with a topping out ceremony on site. Guildford Plaza will be the first co-living accommodation to be operated by Habito Co-Living, a new co-living brand that has been established by Host. to build on its extensive experience in the development and operation of high quality PBSA accommodation. The same professional, customer-orientated approach will now underpin the delivery of a successful co-living, shared experience lifestyle offer in Guildford. Guildford, situated close to London, is an affluent, highly desirable commuter town, and provides a natural home for the launch of Habito Co-Living given the shortage of housing options for working professionals and students, and people relocating to the area. As well as being home to the University of Surrey, which attracts a large student population looking for affordable and flexible accommodation, Guildford is also often described as the Hollywood of the gaming industry. It has a highly educated workforce and several significant employment clusters including: retail, science and health care. Designed at planning by Coffey Architects and delivered by RUFFARCHITECTS, Guildford Plaza is a highly sustainable building targeting an ‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating. Habito Co-Living is to begin marketing homes at Guildford Plaza in December 2024 when the show flat will open, ahead of the building opening in June 2025.

A message to all our property teams from Samantha Hollex (Director of Operations) as we enter the busiest time for student accommodation... Today, tomorrow and over the next few weekends, we have the privilege of welcoming a new group of students to Host., as they step into what will become their home for the next chapter of their lives. This is not just a routine process; it’s the culmination of hours and hours of hard work and planning for all of us, and the beginning of a journey for every individual walking through our front doors. ? As we guide them to their rooms, let’s remember that these spaces are more than just four walls - they are where memories will be made, where friendships will blossom, and where challenges will be overcome. These are not just rooms; they are the foundation of our students' daily lives, their safe spaces, their homes. ? Each interaction we have, each smile we offer, and each problem we solve has the potential to shape their experience. Let’s approach this weekend with those core Host. values on full show with empathy, kindness, and a commitment to making each student feel valued and welcomed. ? We have an incredible opportunity to make a lasting impact, to set the tone for their entire experience at university. Let’s make sure that, as they settle in, they feel not just accommodated, but welcomed and supported. Happy and relaxed. A place to make the most of being a student. At home. ? Thank you for your dedication, your hard work, and your heart. This is how we build trust, connection, and a sense of belonging—one student at a time. ? Welcome home. - - - ? ???- #PBSA #studentaccommodation #studenthousing #studentLiving #StudentExperience #CheckIn #University?
