About Us
Our Culture & Values
We are an ambitious, thriving, and professional company located in the heart of London. We started in 2009 and are now a 200+ strong team working every day to embody our values: Integrity, Development, Energy, Achievement and Support. Our head office is in Covent Garden, and we operate a 24/7 business out of nine communities across the city (King’s Cross, St Pancras, Hoxton, Tower Bridge, Victoria, Vauxhall, City, Westminster and Battersea), with nearly 5,000 total beds. We opened urbanest Battersea in September 2024, one of the world’s most sustainable student accommodation buildings, and look forward to opening our 10th and largest community, urbanest Canary Wharf in 2026. With 1,672 beds, urbanest Canary Wharf will further enhance our sector leading status when it comes to sustainable developments.
Our communities each have a unique feel with buzzing social areas and quiet study spaces for our residents, and we are proud to offer an amazing living experience for students attending leading universities such as King’s College London, the London School of Economics, University College London and New York University. We have a co-ordinated calendar of in-house events to help students discover London and truly enjoy their time with us, ensuring urbanest has a positive impact during this developmental stage of their lives. We are proud of our incredible work culture at urbanest, and we all come together at different events throughout the year to celebrate our achievements. Join us as we work towards our vision of “a living and working experience better than yesterday; even better tomorrow.”
“Great you are thinking of joining us here at urbanest. Our success to date has come from designing brilliant real estate in superb locations; working closely with university partners; and above all, creating and nurturing a diverse team of inspirational people who do their best every single day. As we have grown, so has our team, not only in terms of scale but also through individual and collective, personal development. With a business that will continue to grow significantly, we need more great people to achieve our ambitious growth plans. Take a look at our values below… we work and live by these and they form the backbone of urbanest. These values are fundamental in how we operate. Another fundamental… we are an equal opportunities employer and remain truly passionate about protecting and enhancing our inclusive culture. As a Central London business with residents from all over the globe living with us we are a real reflection of a vibrant international community.” - Mark Morgan, CEO
