Going back to where it all started, this is the story
of how Novel was born.
Two more properties join the Novel Student platform. The addition of Riverside Canterbury and Altura Birmingham brings the total number of operational sites under Novel Student to five, with four more set to open for September 2022.
The first three Novel Student properties open and the teams welcome their residents in Sheffield, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

CA opens its first buildings in Latin America, with LivinnX Santiago in the heart of the Chilean capital city and LivinnX 18 in the historic downtown of Bogota, Colombia.
