Designed by architect Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the scheme will deliver student housing in close proximity to the campus of  Imperial College London, which is supporting the development.

Permission had previously been granted in December 2020 to deliver two new hotels on the site. But following strong demand from higher education institutions, Dominvs changed its plans to build a major purpose-built student accommodation scheme.

The 181 Talgarth Road scheme is near a 400-key hotel under construction, being delivered by Dominvs to the south of the site.

Both buildings will target BREEAM Excellent.

Some 359 of the 713 student rooms will be affordable, offering a solution to the growing affordability and accessibility gaps in student accommodation around London.

Jay Ahluwalia, principal at Dominvs Group, said:  “The mixed-use nature of our proposal speaks to our ability to continually create value across different asset classes in response to the needs of the local area and market conditions.

“This extends our track record of success across student accommodation, hospitality and residential-led developments throughout the capital and beyond.”
