Atha Students serves as the student accommodation management branch for Atha Developments, a property developing company started by Jack and Tom in 2011. Our journey has been a blend of remarkable success, daunting learning curves, and amusing tales of mishaps. From laborers on a construction site living in a caravan to renovating houses with guidance from DIY manuals, our trajectory to where we stand today has been quite the adventure.
Beginning with our initial projects, renovating modest residential properties in Middlesbrough for approximately £70,000 in 2011, reminiscent of shows like "Homes Under the Hammer," we've consistently sought to expand into new and diverse sectors of property development. If someone had told Jack and Tom back in 2011 that Atha Developments would boast the largest student accommodation portfolio in Teesside, alongside a mix of thriving commercial and residential developments, with a combined portfolio value of £14,000,000, they would have dismissed it outright, likely with a chuckle from their caravan. However, thanks to incredible support from family, friends, investors, and the community, Atha Developments journey has gone from strength to strength.
Exciting projects are on the horizon with lots too be excited about in the coming years with a pipeline of projects with a Gross Development Value (GDV) exceeding £25,000,000. There is much to anticipate.
