Winvic Construction has completed a 419-studio student accommodation development in central Beeston, Nottinghamshire, ahead of the new academic year.

Beckton House, on Station Road, has been delivered by developer Cassidy Group in partnership with Winvic Construction, with student accommodation operator Fresh appointed to manage the scheme.

The development has now opened, with residents due to move into the accommodation ahead of the new academic year in early September.

419-studio student accommodation scheme

Beckton House has been designed for students attending the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University.

Each of the 419 studios includes an en-suite bathroom and kitchenette, while the development has been designed to achieve an EPC A rating.

The scheme also includes communal areas and facilities including a cinema room, private dining kitchen and gym.

Winvic Managing Director for Multi-Room, Mark Jones said: “Completing Beckton House on an accelerated programme is a great achievement. From the outset, the team remained focused on the programme, maintained momentum and worked through the challenges to deliver a high-quality scheme ready for the new academic year.

“The standard of the finished building reflects the effort, attention to detail and commitment shown throughout.

“I would like to personally thank our team at Winvic, together with Cassidy Group, the consultant team and our supply chain partners. Every member of the team played their part, and their hard work and commitment have delivered an excellent result and a project to be proud of.

“We look forward to signing the next contract with Cassidy Group and working together to deliver more high-quality residential accommodation.”

Beeston student accommodation opens ahead of academic year

The development is located close to Beeston Town Centre tram stop, providing connections to Nottingham city centre and the two universities.

Cassidy Group Director Patric Cassidy said: “Beeston is a well-connected and thriving town, and with two major universities nearby, there is strong demand for high-quality student accommodation that gives students an alternative to living in Nottingham city centre.

2We wanted Beckton House to respond to that need by creating a modern place to live, with well-designed studios and communal spaces, while also bringing new investment and activity to the town centre.

“Working closely with our partners, we’ve delivered a development that combines quality accommodation with excellent transport links and a range of facilities designed with student life at the centre. With residents moving in ahead of the new academic year, we’re looking forward to seeing Beckton House come to life and become an established part of the Beeston community.”

Fresh Operations Director Harriet Lincoln said: “Beckton House open its doors this September and we are looking to welcoming our first residents into their new home. The development offers a high-quality student living experience, combining modern accommodation and excellent amenities with superb connectivity to Nottingham city centre and both universities.

“Residents will also benefit from our award-winning Be Wellbeing programme, which supports wellbeing, personal development and a strong sense of community throughout their university journey. We look forward to helping students settle in and become part of the vibrant Nottingham community.”

Beckton House is one of three student accommodation schemes brought forward by Cassidy Group in the East Midlands. The developer is also behind schemes on London Road and Arkwright Street in Nottingham city centre.
