Focused Construction News’ Post

Harris Associates has been appointed by Thorstone to market a £75m GDV purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development site in Elephant & Castle, London.

We are delighted to hear that Regal's redevelopment of 100 Chalk Farm Road has been unanimously approved by London Borough of Camden.   Volterra authored the Economic Regeneration and Employment and Skills Statement, and Full Health Impact Assessment on this project. There is a pressing need for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) throughout London, in particular within Camden.  Some key aspects of our reports we'd love to share:   Community benefits: This report outlined the importance of student expenditure in supporting local businesses, particularly relevant given the prominent location of Chalk Farm Road in Camden. It highlighted specific local venues that are likely to experience substantial benefits resulting from the new students living at 100 Chalk Farm Road. Students also bring significant community benefits, beyond their local spending. Evidence suggests that 6% of students in PBSA typically volunteer for local charities or foodbanks. This suggests that up to 20 students at the 100 Chalk Farm Road development may take part in local volunteering opportunities.   Local partnerships: 100 Chalk Farm Road is located next to the Roundhouse music venue. Regal partnered with the Roundhouse Trust to enhance opportunities for young creatives in the local community. Through a number of different initiatives, Regal will support young creatives at the Roundhouse, including through integration with the Roundhouse employability programmes, mentoring, and working with the talent at the Roundhouse to develop vibrant new content. This reflects the benefits that come with building local partnerships.
