About US
Paul Roberts has continued to enhance and improve the standard of the city’s accommodation services through constant regeneration and staying ahead of the times.
With vast knowledge of the property market and a substantial portfolio of developments, we strive to constantly improve and develop the environment around us, with a reputation of high quality designs, attention to detail and strict ongoing maintenance and upkeep of our portfolio, co-ordinated by our in-house maintenance team.
What’s next?
Expanding our extensive portfolio, we have recently acquired the former Barretts Jaguar Dealership site on St Peter’s Street to create a new, boutique development including student accommodation and private residential properties. Pulling together our experienced project team, including Abbott Construction as the main contractors, we are hugely excited about this scheme and the vast benefits it will bring to the city centre.
With more exciting developments in the planning and preparation stages we are full steam ahead for this year, bringing more fresh and innovative ideas to the table, to continually raise the standard of Canterbury’s property stock.
Our Team
From the early planning stages of a development right through to assisting our tenants once they have moved into their newly built home, the PRC team bring a whole host of skills to the table in order to exceed our brand expectations.
