Eris Property Group Launches Two Premium Student Accommodation Projects for 2024

For students set to start their tertiary education chapter, student accommodation is one less thing to stress about, thanks to Eris Property Group (EPG). The property development company has two exciting new student accommodation developments in Cape Town and Johannesburg - Units on Cape Station and Units on Jorissen, respectively - opening in 2024. Both offer modern, innovative purpose-built residences, tailored to students' needs.

All of this accommodation - under RISE Student Living ― offers world-class offerings, built with students in mind, with exceptional standardised amenities and a vibrant community that fosters a dynamic and enriching academic environment. The Student Life Programme, offered at every Eris student accommodation is an all-round wellness programme, which focuses on everything outside of academics: socialising, mental and physical health and practical life skills, such as job readiness. It is a gamechanger for youngsters, as it helps to prepare students for life after university. Although the principle behind every student accommodation build by Eris Property Group follows the same ethos of affordable student accommodation, run by an impressive tech-driven property management system, which follows green design principles ― each building is slightly different.

Units on Cape Station boasts an unbeatable location - situated on the forecourt of the Cape Town Station, facing Adderley Street, and close to 30 education institutions, including CPUT's District 6 campus ―with an impressive 3 071 beds. The variety of room configurations ― 4, 3, and 1-bedroom options ― are designed for privacy and convenience with lockable bedrooms, kitchen, and ablutions.

Each room provides all the essentials for comfortable living, with a bed, study table, chair, and lamp, along with pin boards, a panel heater, curtain rod, and block-out curtains. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a fridge, stove, microwave, wall shelving, and lockable cupboards. Unit bathrooms feature toilets, basins, showers, and mirrors for added convenience. Beyond studying - and aside from the standardised amenities ― there are extensive lounge areas for unwinding and socialising, dedicated quiet zones, and exciting outdoor activity areas like fives football and action netball/baseball. There is even a cinema for movie nights and numerous TV lounges scattered throughout the building.

In the heart of Braamfontein in Johannesburg is Units on Jorissen. Just steps away from Wits University and Senate House, the prime location offers unmatched convenience for students. With 1 071 beds available, these are sharing units that go from cozy 4-bedroom setups to lively 8-bedroom sharing units, each featuring single, lockable bedrooms for privacy.

The amenities in this student accommodation are similar: a comfortable bed, study table, chair, lamp, bookshelf, mirror, and a lockable cupboard with ample storage space. But the living space is configured slightly differently. The fully equipped communal kitchens unit includes a fridge with a generous 156L capacity. There is also a stove, microwave, cupboards, and sink for a stylish, yet functional dining experience. There are two bathrooms per unit with toilets, basins, and showers to ensure convenience for all residents. Outside of each unit, the 24-hour food store located at the filling station below the building caters to late-night cravings, while the lockable bike racks offer added peace of mind.

In addition to Eris' two new developments is the ever-popular Units on Park in Hatfield, just 600 metres from the University of Pretoria. With 998 beds in total, these spacious fully furnished apartments offer an enjoyable home-away-from-home experience with vibrant balconies that lend to its unique character. With 1, 2, and 4-bedroom units, each equipped with essential amenities such as built-in cupboards, study desk, bed, fridge, stove, and microwave, students can move in hassle-free.

On-site computer and study labs, along with uncapped Wi-Fi and a backup generator, support students academically and technologically. The building's eco-conscious features, such as motion-sensor corridor lights and biometric access, prioritise sustainability and security. Its unique outdoor rooftop gym and braai areas offer stunning views to relax and unwind.
