Contracts have been signed and contractors are on site at Select Property Group’s second Vita Student residence in Southampton which is scheduled for delivery in September 2018.
Morgan Sindall, the construction and infrastructure company, has now commenced construction on the Portswood Road scheme; delivering 435 beds, as well as an impressive 1,200 sq m communal area which includes a large social hub, movie room, gym, private dining and dedicated study areas.
With Vita Student’s existing Richmond House residence already a popular choice for students in the city, its Portswood Road residence will see the award-winning brand double its presence on the south coast.
Talking about the scheme, Mark Oakes, Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We’re hugely exciting to be launching our second residence in Southampton and it’s great to see the Morgan Sindall team on site and the scheme starting to take shape.
“We’re looking forward to updating on the development of the scheme over the coming months.”
Jon Daines, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: “We’re delighted to be working closely with Vita Student to deliver this exciting development.
“The scheme takes student accommodation to the next level and has been designed with the needs of today’s modern students as the central element.
“Our team is already making good progress on-site and we look forward to handing over the scheme in time for the start of the academic year in 2018.”
Vita Student, a Select Property Group brand, is an award-winning student accommodation provider that places as much emphasis on customer service and experience as it does offering stylish residences.
It currently has nine residences in operation with a further nine in development. This will see the portfolio more than triple by 2019, growing 250 per cent from 1,764 to 6,165 beds.
