Aaron Morby 10 years ago

John Sisk is understood to be in pole position to take a major student accommodation project at the Eastside Locks in Birmingham.

Alumno Developments has been granted planning permission to build three buildings, ranging in height from 9 storeys to 13 storeys.

The City Locks scheme, designed by Glenn Howells Architects, will provide 625 student bedrooms and is expected to cost around £40m to build.

Sources close to the project say John Sisk is best placed to win the job ahead of rivals Kier, Morgan Sindall, McAleer & Rushe.
