HG Construction has signed off a £75m deal to build a purpose-built student accommodation scheme for Studio Hive in Bristol.

Silverthorne Lane Plot 6 in Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone will comprise 706 student rooms along with amenity spaces.

The development will form an important part of the regeneration of land off Silverthorne Lane that will see £375m being invested into residential, student accommodation and commercial developments, as well as a new comprehensive school.

The project is split over four blocks ranging from five to 15 storeys high, with blocks being interconnected in pairs.

HG will be self-delivering the piling and prefabricated utility cupboards on this scheme, securing quality and programme benefits for the client.

Adam Quinn, CEO of HG Construction, said: “We are delighted to be involved in the regeneration of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.

“As our first scheme in Bristol, we’re looking forward to getting to know the local area and will maximise opportunities for local employment and community engagement throughout the construction of this project.”

Studio Hive is working in partnership with Far East Orchard, Woh Hup and Atlas Land who acquired the site in June 2022 as part of the wider Silverthorne Lane masterplan. 

The scheme is expected to complete in 2026.
