Graham has been appointed to build the new £13 million student accommodation block at 11-13 Spa Road in Bermondsey Spa Gardens.

The 185-room building designed by Maher will be framed around a reinforced concrete structure with a mixture of brickwork, particle cement board cladding and curtain walling.

Geoff Thomas, Managing Director of CKC Properties said: “It has been a long road for SUL Bermondsey working closely with CKC Properties Ltd in achieving a satisfactory planning consent for this scheme.

“We have agreed a forward funding package with Curlew Alternatives Eleventh Property L.P and have negotiated the delivery with GRAHAM. We very much look forward to its satisfactory conclusion in June 2022.”

Rob Joyce, Regional Director at GRAHAM commented: “Southwark is home to six of London’s universities and requires high-quality accommodation to support its growing and diverse student population. This a strong scheme that puts the student experience at its heart, giving them independence in a professionally managed environment that allows them to thrive, learn, and socialise.”
