Regal London to start Wembley 1000-bed student scheme
Developer Regal London has sealed financing to start construction of a near 1,000-bed student accommodation scheme close to Wembley Stadium in London.
Building work now is expected to begin at the end of this year to welcome the first student at the start of the academic year 2027/28.
Regal’s in-house construction arm Regal Construction will manage the programme to construct two buildings rising to 20 and 22 storeys on railway land parallel to Wembley High Road.
The Wembley Greenaway student scheme is being backed by Cheyne Capital and has been designed by architect JTP, with Wallace Whittle providing M&E design.
The project will be targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and an EPC rating of A and will seek to be among the first purpose-built student accommodation projects in the UK to be WELL Platinum Certified.
Hamish Gordon of Cheyne Real Estate said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Regal again for one of the largest PBSA developments in London.
“The development will provide an elevated living experience to students within a short distance of London’s leading universities.
Marc Eden of Regal added: “We pride ourselves on our long-term partnerships, and to be working with Cheyne on our sixth collaboration is a fantastic milestone. ”
