GRAHAM has completed work on a new student development in Belfast.
The Little Patrick Street project, carried out for Lacuna Developments and Watkin Jones Group for Student Roost, will ramp up the student accommodation offering in the city with a host of facilities and amenities.
Construction on the 12-storey, 430-bed site began in 2018.
The development includes a common room, study rooms and outside courtyards.
The ground floor consists of cluster flats with adjoining living, dining and kitchen spaces as well as three self-contained studios, a plant room, bin store, admin space and social area.
Each floor consists of six-bedroom clusters, each with its own living, kitchen and dining spaces as well as seven studios.
The Linen and Pebble exterior of the building has now made its mark on the Belfast skyline and is set to become an outstanding place to stay for students at either Ulster University or Queen’s University Belfast.
Paul Rush, Site Manager from GRAHAM, said: "This project has been completed amid the most unprecedented circumstances, Covid-19 presented some challenges, but we are extremely proud of the concluded offering.
"We believe that this site will offer students studying at Ulster or Queen's universities a premium accommodation setting in which they will thrive."
Neil Howells, Head of Development for Student Roost, said: "We're really pleased with Little Patrick Street, which is Student Roost’s fourth property in Belfast. GRAHAM have delivered a fantastic property for our residents ahead of the new academic year, despite the challenges posed by Covid-19.
"We have put extra social distancing and hygiene measures in place to ensure these amazing new spaces can be safely enjoyed by our new residents. We're looking forward to welcoming them to Little Patrick Street very soon."
