McAleer & Rushe has received planning permission for a 740-bedroom Belfast student housing scheme on College Avenue which it is developing for Queen’s University Belfast.
This is one of two student accommodation projects which McAleer & Rushe has contracted to deliver in a £70m deal with Queen’s.
The two student schemes, totalling more than 1,200 bedrooms, will be completed by summer 2018.
McAleer & Rushe property director Stephen Surphlis said: “We are delighted to have achieved planning permission from Belfast City Council and we look forward to commencing construction on this major student accommodation scheme which will make a significant contribution towards the regeneration of this part of the city.”
