McAleer & Rushe Celebrates Completion Of Angel Lane Student Housing Project For Unite
McAleer & Rushe joined Unite Students and King’s College London at the opening ceremony of their flagship student housing accommodation scheme Angel Lane in Stratford, east London.
It was a particularly fast turnaround for such a large scheme with McAleer & Rushe only beginning on site in January 2014. One interesting innovation which helped facilitate this was the use of Gebrik brick cladding systems.
Angel Lane provides a solution to a key challenge facing King’s – a need for more purpose-built student accommodation to support growing student numbers.
King’s real estate development director Ralph Luck OBE said:
“We have ambitious plans to increase student numbers over the next few years and given our existing strong relationship with Unite Students they were the obvious partner to choose.”
Unite Students‘ managing director of Operations Richard Smith said:
“Delivering another property in this exciting area of London gives students another accommodation option, ensuring they get value for money and the best environment to succeed.”
