Construction consultancy appointed to support £3.3 million 'prestigious' student accommodation scheme in Wolverhampton
A leading Midlands construction consultancy has been appointed to support a prestigious student accommodation scheme in Wolverhampton city centre.
Birmingham-based The Construction Consultants (TCC) has been appointed to support the ambitious £3.3 million Victoria Street development scheme which will provide 63 self-contained one-bedroom units.
The company is taking on the project after the original main contractor went into administration and the prominent corner site was left lying derelict for a number of years after multiple planning applications failed to materialise.
The development, which is situated close to Wolverhampton University, will also provide ground floor space for retail.
Each unit will include a kitchenette as well as associated amenities, and the third floor apartments will have sweeping views across Wolverhampton city centre.
Sandeep Sunner, co-founder and director of The Construction Consultants, said: "This is a prestigious student scheme in the heart of Wolverhampton which will create first-class, purpose built accommodation for its student residents, as well as superb views for residents on the top floor.
"We were brought in after the original main contractor went into administration and the site lay dormant for several years. We are delighted to be involved in such an imaginative scheme.”
TCC is providing commercial and quantity surveying services to construction managers Tamworth-based WB Property Group and employers agent services to Birmingham-based Beauford Group - a specialist in student accommodation projects.
Headquartered in Bennett's Hill in Birmingham city centre, TCC is a multi-disciplined consultancy business which provides specialist project management, quantity-surveying, employers agent, building surveying and health and safety services to a wide range of sectors.
The plush Victoria Street development will breathe new life into that section of the city centre, which is surrounded by mostly retail and business units and sits in both the Worcester Street and South of the City Centre conservation areas, with Grade II listed buildings nearby.
The scheme is due to be completed in September this year, the developers said.
