Construction News Image
The Conygar Investment Company has announced that Bowmer + Kirkland is its project partner for the student accommodation phase at The Island Quarter, in Nottingham.

The 12-storey 693-bed student living accommodation is currently underway at the £1.4 billion, 36-acre development and is set to welcome its first residents in September 2024 ahead of the academic year.

The student accommodation will offer a range of room types including studio flats and cluster living and has been designed by DAY Architectural as part of The Island Quarter's wider masterplan to combat the continuing shortfall in student accommodation in the city.

Christopher Ware, property director at Conygar, said: "Work is well under way on the new student blocks and large cranes are in the sky. We are pleased to be partnering with such a well-regarded company as Bowmer + Kirkland to deliver our vision.

"The new space will support Nottingham’s reputation as a leading university city and will provide another choice for city centre living for students, which will benefit future generations attending the universities for decades to come."

It is expected that Nottingham will experience a deficit of 7,000 student beds within the coming years and this purpose-built student accommodation, which includes a high-level sky lounge, private courtyard, socialising and studying space, will go some way to supporting student living in the city.

It is also part of the development’s broader masterplan promoting intergenerational living, with housing choices that work for all ages available on the site.

Christian Parnell, Bowmer + Kirkland regional director, said: "It is fantastic to see our team start work on this exciting phase of The Island Quarter, in the heart of Nottingham. It is a city with which we have a long association, and our entire team is looking forward to being a part of the project and bringing the plans to fruition."
