Stepney Yard

Project Overview

Stepney Yard is a student accommodation comprising 266 beds of cool, well-designed apartments set over three floors, many with views over the nearby Ouseburn Stadium and viaduct and some with outdoor terraces, the envy of any visiting student. Stepney Yard was completed in 2016. With a mix of duplex studio apartments and en suite flats, students are able to choose to live independently or share with friends. There are also the coolest social areas bedecked with chesterfield sofas, industrial and exposed services, pool tables and a cinema room.

Located in the heart of Ouseburn, this accommodation has been popular with the more free-spirited and colourful students. Those who dare to be different and those looking to immerse themselves in the culture of the surrounding area. As part of our brief we assisted with discharging planning conditions relating to an existing mine entry on site as well as the normal suite of services for contamination, remediation, flood risk and SUD’s strategy. Our commission included full construction information expected within a traditional appointment as well as assisting the contractor with all temporary works including liaison with Network Rail Form C where operations came within influence of the East Coast Mainline.
