Conygar, the developer behind the £1.4bn Island Quarter in Nottingham, has appointed Bowmer & Kirkland as contractor for the student accommodation phase.
Designed by Day Architectural, the 12-storey student accommodation block will have 693 beds across a range of room types. It is expected to open in September 2024.
Conygar property director Christopher Ware said: “Work is well under way on the new student blocks and large cranes are in the sky. We are pleased to be partnering with such a well-regarded company as Bowmer & Kirkland to deliver our vision.
“The new space will support Nottingham’s reputation as a leading university city and will provide another choice for city centre living for students, which will benefit future generations attending the universities for decades to come.”
Bowmer & Kirkland regional director Christian Parnell said: “It is fantastic to see our team start work on this exciting phase of The Island Quarter, in the heart of Nottingham. It is a city with which we have a long association, and our entire team is looking forward to being a part of the project and bringing the plans to fruition.”
