220-bed student digs scheme to complete early
A £14m student accomodation project in Leamington Spa's town centre is set to complete ahead of schedule.
Gee Bee Investments is building a 220-bedroom development on derelict land opposite the train station on Old Warwick Road.
Work on the scheme, which is being partially funded by Yorkshire Bank's Coventry Financial Solutions Centre (FSC), started nine months ago and is set for an early completion.
The five-storey, 80,000 sq ft building will house students from the University of Warwick from September 2012.
Gee Bee director Dr Gurmit Singh said: "When completed this is going to be an iconic building at the gateway into Leamington town centre, and will be one of the first buildings you see when arriving into the town from the train station.
"The site was very much an eye-sore which had been ignored for quite some time and we see this development as having several positive strands."
The Station House development is the third student development project Gee Bee Investments has worked on with backing from Yorkshire Bank.
