Phase Four of Canning Town’s Hallsville Quarter scheme has reached practical completion.
Part of the £3.7 billion Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme, this phase delivers 375 much-needed student accommodation rooms across 10 storeys. Designed by PRP, with interiors by Holloway Li, the development provides a mix of studios and en-suite rooms to support a range of needs and budgets.
Along with the residential accommodation, the scheme includes commercial spaces and dedicated student amenity areas designed to enhance wellbeing and create a vibrant, supportive student community. Amenities include communal lounges, landscaped roof terraces, dedicated study areas, a fully equipped gym and meeting rooms, alongside a range of formal and informal spaces for residents. The surrounding landscaped public realm has also been designed to create an accessible and sustainable setting.
Sustainability has been a key consideration throughout the development, which has achieved BREEAM Excellent certification.
As the penultimate stage of the £650 million Hallsville Quarter Masterplan, Phase Four achieved practical completion well ahead of the 2026/2027 academic year, ensuring the building was fully prepared for the 2026/2027 student intake. The wider masterplan provided more than 1,100 private and affordable homes, over 30,000 sq m of leisure and retail space, a hotel and new public spaces.
The delivery of this phase marks another significant step in the ongoing transformation of Canning Town’s urban landscape. The new student accommodation will be operated by ARK Living under the name ARK Canning Town, becoming the brand’s first dedicated student residence.
