Winvic tops out Notts PBSA
The contractor is working for Leamington Spa-based developer Cassidy Group on Beckton House, which will bring 419 studio apartments to the local student living market.
The project, to be managed by Fresh, is inked in for completion in time for students to move in from the start of the academic year beginning in September 2026.
Zorin Finance has backed the project.
Located on Station Road in Beeston town centre, the five-storey development is close to the Nottingham Express Transit tram network, making the University of Nottingham a four-minute journey and Nottingham Trent University 25 minutes away.
Patric Cassidy, director at Cassidy Group, said: “Beckton House will be great not just for the students that will live here, but it will hugely benefit the surrounding area. Students will have first-class accommodation within what will be an EPC A rated energy efficient building with great transport links right outside their front door, and it will boost the local retail economy due to an influx of customers keen to find out what Beeston has to offer.
“Broxtowe Borough Council has been very supportive throughout this process, and the work of Winvic and our fantastic team of consultants mean that we are ahead of schedule which guarantees an early opening for the next academic year.”
Fresh already operates several other purpose-built student blocks in Nottingham. Internally, Beckton House will feature extensive social areas for residents to meet friends or study outside of their room, plus an array of facilities including a cinema room, a private dining kitchen and a gym.
Sam Scott, managing director at Fresh, said: “Beckton House is ideally positioned to be a valuable addition to student accommodation in the Beeston area. Drawing on our extensive knowledge of the Nottingham market, we look forward to welcoming residents when the development opens in September.”
This is one of three student accommodation schemes currently being brought forward by Cassidy Group in the East Midlands, with the developer also behind new facilities on London Road and Arkwright Street in Nottingham’s city centre.
Mark Jones, managing director for multi-room at Winvic, said: “Topping out marks significant progress on a development that showcases Winvic’s expertise in delivering high-quality, sustainable student accommodation in thriving university cities.
“Beckton House will not only provide outstanding facilities for students but also contribute positively to the wider Beeston community. We’re proud to be working collaboratively with Cassidy Group to bring this forward safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards of quality.”
