Bouygues development arm Linkcity, along with Crosstree Real Estate, has completed the necessary financial arrangements to begin a large-scale purpose-built student accommodation project in Canning Town, East London.
This project, known as phase 4 of the €702m Hallsville Quarter regeneration, will feature 375 purpose-built student accommodation rooms and has been created by PRP Architects. As with previous phases, Bouygues UK will be the main contractor and will take a low-carbon, sustainable approach while aiming for BREAAM Excellent.
This project is the second-to-last phase of the ambitious Hallsville Quarter masterplan and is expected to conclude in the summer of 2026, just in time for the 2026/2027 academic year. Overall, the Hallsville Quarter development will feature over 1,100 private and affordable homes, over 30,000m2 of leisure and retail space, and a new hotel. All of these will be located directly opposite Canning Town underground station.
Oliver Campbell, Development Director of Linkcity said: “This is an exciting and pivotal moment as we reach financial close on the fourth stage of the Hallsville Quarter masterplan and commence work on site.”
