The firm has just broken ground on the 284-bed Poland House development, which marks the first partnership between the Northern Irish contractor and the expanding real estate investor.
Designed by Henley Halebrown, the scheme will replace the original Poland House building with four interlocking red-brick blocks rising from eight to twelve storeys. Around 35% of the beds will be classed as affordable.
The project is targeting a BREEAM “Excellent” sustainability rating.
Residents will have a range of facilities including study areas, communal lounges and a gym
Set on Stratford High Street, the development sits within walking distance of UCL East and University of the Arts London, offering easy access to the Olympic Park and Westfield shopping centre.
Firethorn head of development Paul Martin said: “Poland House is the third student development in our expanding Living portfolio as we strengthen our presence in prime university cities across the UK.”
The Poland House scheme is due to complete ahead of the 2028/29 academic year and joins Firethorn’s growing Living portfolio, which also includes PBSA schemes in Hackney Wick, Stratford and Edinburgh’s Leith Walk.
