The Merrion Street development, on the site of the former Santander building, will comprise a 32-storey tower alongside an 11-storey block, providing 693 bedrooms for student accommodation provider Scape.
This is Scape’s first student accommodation scheme in Leeds and Hertfordshire-based HG Construction’s first development in the city.
The contract value is £60m.
The 32-storey building, with unitized glass facades, will be HG Construction’s tallest development to date and among the tallest buildings in Leeds.
The Leeds scheme will be the 10th scheme that HG Construction has delivered for Scape. It is currently building a 774-bed student accommodation led scheme for Scape in Canada Street, London and has recently finished a scheme with 500 beds in Guilford.
