The £60m scheme is being delivered for a joint venture between Moorfield Group and Tiger Developments, and is targeting EPC A, BREEAM Excellent, and featuring PV panels alongside a district heating connection.
The Freestone Yards development will transform a brownfield plot in the Temple Quarter into four blocks providing 65 ensuite cluster flats and 136 self-contained studios. The scheme is targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating.
Managing director Gwyn Pritchard said: “Achieving Gateway 2 approval for our PBSA scheme on Freestone Road demonstrates our expertise in driving projects forward while maintaining our focus on excellence in construction delivery.”
The scheme adds to Moorfield’s wider student portfolio, which includes around 5,000 delivered beds through its Domain platform and a further 2,000-plus beds being assembled through its student housing strategy.
