454-bed PBSA scheme for Urbanest in a single block of G+31 storeys. With stunning views over the Battersea regeneration area, the student flats are supported with staff rooms, reception meeting rooms, an amenity lounge at level 1 and at rooftop (including an enclosed terrace). Construction started in May 2016 and completed in July 2018. The core was slipped, with the floors built around, standardised bathroom pods were deployed for efficiency and the building wrapped in a unitised façade system.
