LUNA Students

✨ EXCITING NEWS: Our Burnsall House development in Warwick has topped out! ✨ A hugely significant milestone for our 196-bed student accommodation scheme. Earlier this week, we welcomed our project partners for an official Topping Out ceremony to showcase the fantastic progress we've made. It also gave them an opportunity to see our plans for driving the project forward to completion. Watch the video below to see the topping-out ceremony and the high-quality work being delivered by #TeamTorsion. A special thank you goes to all our project partners for their support. We’re pleased to be delivering Burnsall House with Atelier and Zenzic Capital. Thanks also to our senior project manager Paul Nesbitt and the Torsion Construction team on site for their hard work and professionalism in reaching this stage. What's next? We're fully focused on completion in 2025, in time for the new academic year. We’re looking forward to Burnsall House creating much-needed, high-quality student accommodation in this popular university city. Sustainability and energy efficiency are central to the development, which is why we’re targeting a minimum BREEAM Very Good rating, alongside a 3-star Fitwel Certification System and implementing advanced energy monitoring systems to support LUNA Students in managing usage in line with our ESG objectives.

PROJECT UPDATE: Burley Street, Leeds Progress is moving swiftly on-site at our 189-studio student accommodation development on Burley Street, Leeds. We’re excited to report that all concrete frame works have been completed up to level 5, with core 1 stairs installed up to level 7. Brickwork on the substructure is progressing well, alongside the internal blockwork on the ground floor, with the scaffold now commenced which will wrap around the building. Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for the next major milestone—concrete pours for levels 6, 7, and 8, as well as the installation of columns and parapets. The SFS installation is also set to begin shortly, alongside window installation and insulation in preparation for the brick façade. We’re also proud to recognise our Employee of the Month, Richard Wilson (pictured left with Ed Newman, Technical Apprentice), who’s been instrumental in keeping the project on track. Richard's positive and proactive attitude has made a real difference, and we’re pleased to present him with a well-deserved £25 Amazon voucher in recognition of his efforts. In addition to the great progress on-site, we're pleased to announce that the project has achieved an Excellent score in our first Considerate Constructors Scheme assessment, with another review scheduled this month. We’re developing Burley Street with our joint venture partner Zenzic Capital, and are on track to complete the project ahead of the 2025/26 academic year.
