GMI Construction<\/a> has secured a \u00a340m contract to deliver a major new 604-bed affordable student scheme in Leeds<\/h2>\n

The student scheme in Leeds will be 15-storeys high and is designed to provide affordable student living within an environment to support health and wellbeing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The development situated on Carlton Hill in Leeds will see the demolition of a 20 year-old, 239-bed student accommodation block to make space for the new development.<\/p>\n

The student scheme in Leeds is the culmination of several years of planning and dialogue between Pickard Properties<\/a> and Unipol Student Homes<\/a> who will lease the building for exclusive use by students attending the University of Leeds.<\/p>\n

It will incorporate several fully landscaped three-storey \u2018sky gardens\u2019, allocated to clusters of apartments. The open-air theme also extends to ground floor level with its own courtyard, providing a combination of natural and interactive spaces for student studying and socialising.<\/p>\n

\u2018A groundbreaking design\u2019<\/h3>\n

Lee Powell, divisional managing director of GMI, said: \u201cThis is a significant project win for GMI and we are looking forward to working with Pickard Properties, Fox Lloyd Jones and the rest of the team in changing the landscape of the Leeds City skyline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scheme enables GMI to enhance its successful track record of delivering student residential living and we are proud to be involved in a groundbreaking design that caters for students\u2019 mental wellbeing<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miles Pickard, director of Pickard Properties, commeted: \u201cWe recognise there has been a huge change to students\u2019 needs, and therefore a considerable amount of thought has been given to the design, social circulation and interaction for the wellbeing of students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really looking forward to developing Carlton Hill for the students of Leeds to enjoy this modern, cutting-edge addition to the accommodation available to them in the city.<\/p>\n

Martin Blakey of Unipol, added: \u201cWe are looking forward to 2023 when we will take delivery of what will be an exciting new living environment, available at an affordable rent providing value for money, for students of the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone involved in this development has worked hard to ensure this building will be a home from home and a great place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students are expected to move into the new building during September 2023.<\/p>\n
