Working on behalf of our client Cityheart we are pleased to announce the completion of the second phase of its 485 bed student accommodation for the University of Gloucestershire.
Phase 1 consisting of 295 rooms was provided for University of Gloucestershire and completed in 2018. The second phase provided a further 190 rooms on same site for Hartpury University.
MM Management Services has represented Cityheart as employer’s agent, initially under a design and build contract with Midas Construction. Following the demise of Midas Construction, Cityheart had to quickly move to a Construction Management contract, appointing Vitruvius , a move that allowed the rooms to be complete in time for the student intake.
Mark McNamee, Managing Director of Cityheart comments: “This is a fantastic scheme that significantly enhances the local built environment, improving a previously neglected part of the town and we have received very positive feedback in response to the completed project.”
Richard Graham CMG MP for Gloucester adds: “It is great to see this new student accommodation now completed & looking great in the city centre with 500 students expected to have moved in by September.”
Michael Beverley, Managing Director of MM Management commented: “It’s been great to be involved in the second phase of this project working with Cityheart and the wider construction team and we’re delighted to have been able to complete the project in time for students to move in.”
