Phase One of McLaren Property and Topland Group’s Longwood Place reached sectional completion on 30th June 25.
The £100m student accommodation scheme, adjacent to the University of Warwick, provides 572 beds and has now opened its doors to welcome students for the 2025/26 academic year.
The purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme replaced outdated office buildings and a former multi-storey car park. The project involved the demolition of offices and associated structures to make way for nine new residential blocks, delivered across two phases of construction.
The development champions sustainability, achieving a BREEAM Excellent rating, inclusion of recycled demolition materials, and careful protection of nearby woodland and watercourses.
Students will benefit from vibrant social spaces including an arcade, lounge, karaoke room, a range of study spaces, a gym, and landscaped outdoor areas – designed to foster community and wellbeing.
Delivered for iQ Student Accommodation, one of the UK’s leading PBSA providers, the student living campus will comprise 1,078 high-quality student bedrooms and 131 co-living rooms upon completion of phase two in spring 2026.
Stace provided Project Management, Employer’s Agent, and CDM services on this development.
