Key Details
Overview
149 Harrow Road is a proposed 800-bedroom student accommodation development on the site of Travis Perkins branch in Paddington, London W2.
The scheme is being delivered jointly by Unite Students and Travis Perkins, who will have a new state-of-the-art builders merchant’s depot on the ground floor of the scheme.
The 65.5-metre building will contain 562 student homes.
The scheme is expected to complete by the 2023/24 academic year, subject to planning approval, and will deliver a development yield in line with the Company's enhanced targets for University partnerships in central London.
The development will target a BREEAM Excellent rating and incorporate a range of design features to reduce its embodied and operational carbon.
History
