S. Lucas scoops London student accommodation project

S. Lucas has been appointed by Mace to carry out a complete general decorations package for a new student accommodation building in Central London. The £19.3 million development for Fieldgate Street Investment LLP is going to provide 339 student rooms as well as nine residential apartments, a reception area and ground level retail units. The new development is located in Fieldgate Street between Aldgate East and Whitechapel underground stations and will create convenient accommodation for London Metropolitan University and other universities around London. It will also lift the local area which is the subject of regeneration masterplan. Construction is well underway and completion is scheduled for early 2012.
