Eddington forms part of the University of Cambridge’s vision to create a sustainable, long-lasting and ambitious district that enhances both the city and the university.
As one of the world’s leading academic institutions, the University continues to grow and evolve. A key challenge has been the shortage of high-quality, affordable accommodation for staff and postgraduates. The wider North West Cambridge Development responds to this need, supporting the University’s long-term future while contributing to the city’s growth.
At the heart of this vision, Eddington has been designed for twenty-first century living – a vibrant, sustainable community where people can live, work and socialise in close proximity to Cambridge.
We provided development monitoring services on a landmark build-to-rent scheme within the masterplan, comprising both single-family and multi-family homes. Delivered through a joint venture between Apache Capital’s single-family rental platform, Present Made, and Nuveen, the scheme includes:
- 112 purpose-built single-family homes
- 261 multi-family apartments
Completed in 2025, the project represents the UK’s first purpose-built single-family housing development within a professionally managed rental portfolio, setting a new benchmark for the sector.
