In Manchester, the site of a student accommodation block is being converted into a new kind of housing, one that reflects an age of dense urban living. Just like any other university digs, tenants will have their own room and share communal spaces — but these inhabitants will instead be young professionals looking to carve out a career in the city. At The Collective in London, tenants rent out a room and get access to an on-site cinema, gym, restaurant, roof terrace, bar and spa.
