Getting On At Hackney Wick
Developer Southern Grove has secured permission to create a £75 million mixed-use student accommodation scheme that will make Hackney Wick one of the fastest growing educational and cultural centres in London.
The project will also house two organisations of huge importance to the local community, on a peppercorn rent for 150 years. The Piano Works, on the site of the former Broadwood piano factory in Fish Island, will house 204 student beds in two six and seven-storey blocks.
The ground floor of both buildings will host incubator space for the London College of Fashion (University of the Arts London). This is the first time UAL has been provided with a facility like this.
Commercial space
A third five-storey building will contain 840sq.m of commercial floorspace, which will be entirely given over to community organisation, the Stour Trust, which nurtures local commercial, artistic and industrial enterprises.
Future Generation
Southern Grove’s joint venture sister company, the PBSA specialist Future Generation, was responsible for creating The Vogue, a 330-bed mixed-use student scheme which sits on the adjacent site.
Co campus
The area is fast becoming a crossroads for students across east London, being only a short walk from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the University of East London while Queen Mary University of London is not far in Mile End. Even closer are Loughborough University London’s postgraduate campus and UCL’s East Campus, which are both sited within the Olympic Park.
Piano Works
The Piano Works was designed by architects Henley Halebrown. Southern Grove was also assisted by planning consultants Knight Frank and townscape consultants Montagu Evans. Development agent Tom Brain, of Hillstone Group, represented the developer in securing the site.
