The scheme will deliver 442 student beds and 150 co-living units across two towers of 29 and 18 storeys. The project is being delivered in partnership with Cain, with RG Group now cleared to start work on site.

The taller block will rise to 28 storeys to house student accommodation, alongside a separate 18-storey co-living building. With Gateway 2 approval now in place, construction is set to begin immediately, with completion targeted for mid-2028.

Olympian said the approval was achieved through a highly collaborative process, supported by the Building Safety Regulator’s innovation unit, helping to accelerate the application timeline.

Richard Goodwin, construction director at Olympian, said: “Having run this application through the newly-formed innovation unit, BSR performance was greatly improved and the whole process was achieved in 14 weeks.

“This is testament to the working relationship of the whole team.”

Olympian chairman Mark Slatter added that Olympian Homes continuesd to advance it’s growth strategy despite a challenging market and remained focused on the acquisition and redevelopment of high quality urban sites.
