BOOSTING AREAS WITH STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
The Kinetik team understands the critical factors of creating a place incorporating student accommodation to enhance the vibrancy and success of the area. Student accommodation was built into the masterplan of Westfield Stratford City with a 28-storey, 951 bedroom tower. The high-quality student accommodation scheme was designed, built and forward sold to UNITE. The arrival of student accommodation has also been a catalyst to the additional inward investment with two new universities opening over the next few years including University College London and University Arts London: London College of Fashion.
The Kinetik team members were appointed by one of the world’s leading student accommodation developers, Campus Living Villages conducting a peer review and feasibility study for nine properties in the UK and in Australia for the University of NSW. The extensive project involved reviewing retail plans, the efficiency of student housing and adding to building envelopes to maximise future opportunities.
