Walker Morris has advised Unite Students on the acquisition of a development site, which is planned to provide accommodation for 1,000 students in the Leeds area. The site, which is expected to be opened in 2020, is located near to the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University and is just a short distance away from the city centre.

Four specialist lawyers from Walker Morris supported in the development of the £80 million project, providing their expertise in real estate, tax and construction. The Walker Morris team was comprised of Nick Cannon and Will Cousins from the Real Estate Team, Nicola Parkinson from the Tax Team and Jo McNamara from Construction & Engineering.
