UK: GRAHAM has been appointed to deliver a 321-bed purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) asset for Gamuda Land UK at Marshgate Lane in Stratford.
The £45 million scheme will rise between Stratford High Street and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, within a short walking distance from Pudding Mill Lane DLR station.
The building will provide a mix of cluster flats and self-contained studios. Communal amenities include shared kitchen, dining and social spaces, a gym and games rooms. On the ground floor level, there will be 294 square metres of communal for artists’ studios and workspace.
The scheme will also feature an elevated communal space, which will run the length of the site and give students a view of the surrounding waterways. GRAHAM will also deliver a new road and improved pedestrian and cycle access from the northern side of the site.
Pat O’Hare, regional director at GRAHAM, said: “Stratford continues to attract significant investment and has established itself as a major destination for education, innovation and culture. This scheme responds to growing demand for high-quality student accommodation while creating an environment that supports wellbeing, encourages community and contributes positively to the wider area. Working in partnership with Gamuda Land UK Limited and the wider project team, we look forward to bringing forward a development that will become an important addition to Stratford’s evolving landscape.”
“The appointment of GRAHAM marks an important milestone as we move into the delivery phase of Marshgate Lane, reflecting our confidence in Stratford as one of London’s most dynamic and well-connected growth locations,” said head of Gamuda Land UK Niall Farmer.
