UK: Telford Living has submitted a planning application for a 520-bed purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme in Bethnal Green, east London.
The scheme would see the redevelopment of the former London Electricity Board Building on a 0.9-acre brownfield site on Cambridge Heath Road.
Designed by AHMM Architects, the scheme will include a mix of cluster and studio rooms. Proposals also include a range of amenities as well as ground-floor community and affordable retail spaces.
The site is located close to Bethnal Green Underground station and Queen Mary University of London campus.
Telford Living is the UK residential construction arm of Trammell Crow Company. Alex Taylor, senior vice-president, development investment at Trammell Crow Company and head of Telford Living, said: “There is a well-evidenced need for dedicated student accommodation in this area of Tower Hamlets, which is particularly close to major universities and transport connections. Our plans for 520 high-quality PBSA units will directly address this demand while delivering a thoughtfully designed building that integrates positively with the surrounding area and brings wider regeneration benefits to the local community.”
