Purpose-built student accommodation
Gamecock Pub, Hulme, Manchester
Jumani Holdings acquired the former Gamecock Pub site in Hulme in 2018. Following detailed planning engagement, a scheme was brought forward with Curlew Capital and permission was secured for 146 student beds in 2024.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Context and commercial challenge.
The site required a use and planning strategy capable of responding to its urban context while creating a credible institutional development proposition.
JUMANI'S ROLE
How the opportunity was progressed.
The work combined site ownership, sustained engagement with the planning authority and an opportunity-specific partnership with an experienced sector counterparty.
Outcome
Planning permission was obtained in 2024 for a 146-bed purpose-built student accommodation scheme.
WHY IT MATTERS
Experience applied to the next decision.
Every project is different, but the underlying disciplines remain consistent: test the commercial case, establish clear responsibility, align the structure and remain actively involved through the value-creation plan.
