As a new, expert developer within the sector we are pleased to have this opportunity to make a positive contribution to the regional economy and higher education sector in one of the UK’s most vibrant cities.

Stephen Hodder, Chairman, Hodder + Partners said: “Based on our local knowledge and expertise, we have designed this building as a considered response to the scale of the street and the city itself. The tower will be sympathetic to the existing city skyline and its immediate surroundings we are looking forward to delivering it successfully for Student Castle.”
