Planning permission for a 15-storey second phase of student accommodation in Salford Quays has been received, a construction firm has announced.
Blackpool-based Create Construction will build the second phase of its Discovery Quays project for property group Bricks Capital.
Phase two, which has a construction value of at least £30m, is set to include 457 student beds and communal and lounge spaces over 14,200 sq m of space.
Completion is due in the third quarter of 2022, Create said.
Paul Mathison, Create Construction chief executive, said: “Our partnership with Bricks Capital is going from strength to strength, as they share the same core values of ‘Integrity’ ‘collaborative’ and ‘easy to do business with’.
“We are looking forward to another successful partnership in the delivery of this next phase of our Discovery Quays project in Salford, an important part of the exciting regeneration of the city.”
The completion of the development’s first phase, which has a contract value of around £27m, is due this month, ready to welcome this year’s student intake.
It comprises 402 student bedrooms over 14,500 sq m, situated close to MediaCity海角视频 and Salford Quays.
Peter Prickett, group chief executive of Bricks Capital, added: “The expansion of our true development at Salford Quays marks another major step in establishing the brand as a major player in the PBSA management arena and we’re delighted to be working with Create once more in delivering this exciting project.”
