Construction work has been completed on a new 306-home student development in Acton, west London.
The Chapter White City development is located on the site of the former Savoy Cinema.
Developed by Tide Construction and its offsite manufacturing company Vision Modular Systems, Chapter White City stands at 7-storeys, offering 306 studio apartments complete with communal spaces including a café, student lounge, arcade and gym.
The modules were manufactured by Vision in their purpose-built factory in Bedford, using precision engineering production line techniques designed to streamline the process and deliver a quality end-product at a faster pace of construction.
Christy Hayes, chief executive officer at Tide Construction, said: "Chapter White City is a fitting tribute to the famous cinema that once stood on the site, and the students that have chosen to make Acton their home will bring a vibrancy to this historic gateway to central London. Our work here with Vision and HTA is testimony to the versatility of modular construction and what it can deliver throughout London and the rest of the country, in both the residential sector, the hotel sector and the student sector."
Troy Tomasik, Managing Director – Investments at Greystar, added: "Chapter White City is a stunning new addition to our growing London student portfolio, completed in time for the start of the 2019 academic year this September. Vision and Tide have perfected the art of modular construction, with Chapter White City standing as proof of the high-quality craftsmanship which can now be achieved by this innovative construction method."
Tide and Vision Modular Systems are also onsite in Holloway delivering a 257-home student accommodation scheme for Chapter.
