Sellar scheme includes pocket park and corner cafe
Sellar has secured planning approval for a new development in south-east London which will include 444 new student homes.
The Shard developer鈥檚 King鈥檚 Place scheme in Borough will also feature eight affordable homes for local key workers and 1,850 sq m flexible office and retail space including a corner caf茅 on the high street and a pocket park.
Southwark Council unanimously approved the proposals, which were drawn up by Morris+Company, earlier this week.
James Sellar, chief executive of Sellar, said the scheme was 鈥渞edefining the design of student accommodation in London in a location with unrivalled connections to world class universities鈥�.
The one-acre site fronts onto Newington Causeway and Borough High Street, close to both King鈥檚 College London and London South Bank University.
鈥淭he project also furthers our long-term track record of working with and making a positive contribution to Southwark through regenerative developments, adding King鈥檚 Place to our successful projects at Shard Quarter and Bermondsey Yards,鈥� Sellar added.
The project team also includes WSP and Gardiner and Theobald.
