McAleer & Rushe has been appointed to deliver the Poland House purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme on Stratford High Street in East London.
The project has now received final approval, clearing the way for full construction works. The development is estimated to be worth around £50m, with completion targeted for the 2028/29 academic year.
The scheme is located near Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and within walking distance of both UCL East and University of the Arts London.
Mark Diamond, Senior Director at McAleer & Rushe, said: “We look forward to progressing the scheme following this approval, which reflects the strength of the collaborative approach taken by the Firethorn and McAleer & Rushe project team.”
The Stratford development forms part of Firethorn’s expanding Living portfolio, which also includes PBSA projects in Hackney Wick, Stratford and The Malt Works at Leith Walk in Edinburgh.
