Bouygues development arm Linkcity and Crosstree Real Estate have secured financial close to start a major purpose-built student accommodation scheme in Canning Town, East London

Phase 4 of the £600m Hallsville Quarter regeneration has been designed by PRP Architects and involves building 375 purpose-built student accommodation rooms.

As with the previous phases, Bouygues UK will be the main contractor and will take a low-carbon, sustainable approach targeting BREAAM Excellent.

This project marks the penultimate phase of the ambitious Hallsville Quarter masterplan and is expected to complete in the summer of 2026 ahead of the 2026 / 2027 academic year.

In total, the Hallsville Quarter development will provide over 1,100 private and affordable homes, over 30,000 square metres of leisure and retail space and a new hotel all located directly opposite Canning Town underground station.

Oliver Campbell, Development Director of Linkcity said: “This is an exciting and pivotal moment as we reach financial close on the fourth stage of the Hallsville Quarter masterplan and commence work on site.”
