have just come back from their initial #modular build inspection at DMDmodular’s factory in Poland for the project at Mayfield Road in #Edinburgh. The cages and fitout are progressing well with a coordinated manufacturing line and quality control setup. With the expectation of snag free rooms arriving on site early next year for stacking by Clark Contracts, the construction programme is de-risked to ensure Audley Modular Student Living’s residents will have completed rooms well before even the external facade commences.MDA Consulting, Etive Consulting Engineers Limited, Meinhardt Group, JGA, a Jensen Hughes Company, Maslow Capital #MMC #residentialdevelopment #btr #pbsa #modularconstruction

56three are delighted to announce that Scottish Ministers have supported our client Kiltane Developments' mixed use proposal at 553 Gorgie Road in Edinburgh. Despite strong support from CEC Planning and approval at a full Planning Committee meeting in August 2020, the application was ‘called in’ and experienced a twelve month review. The positive outcome is a validation of the design strategy and engineering approach taken to the site, and will result in the delivery of residential accommodation, purpose built student accommodation, commercial units, amenity space and improved public realm for residents and the local community, creating a vibrant development along the Water of Leith on a primary arterial route into Edinburgh City Centre.A wonderful team effort and congratulations to Mark Keane, Etive Consulting Engineers Ltd, Grant Simpson, Callum Anderson, ITPEnergised, Jonas Beaugas, Sweco, Ruth Mustard, RANKIN FRASER LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE LLP, Scott Hobbs Planning Ltd, Paul Scott, Rhiannon Martin, Alex Orr, ACORNA ECOLOGY LTD.#planning #studentaccommodation #residential #mixeduse #urbanliving #edinburgh

After 2 years of research and development working

After 2 years of research and development working with #OakwoodStudentAccomodationand #PebbleDesign, we are delighted to have delivered the first of many new look rooms for #EmpiricStudentProperty and @_hellostudent for the new academic year. The interior design solutions offer a range of styles to suit Hello Student’s diverse portfolio of heritage and contemporary buildings. The furniture has been carefully designed and manufactured to optimise space, function and materials ensuring both developer and resident benefit in terms of function, maintenance, and value, whilst maximising the look and feel to provide a home-from-home experience. The first of two buildings to benefit from this overhaul is Pennine House in Leeds along with a new welcoming entrance lobby. The communal spaces will following throughout the year.

We were on site at this week to see our sixteen storey PBSA tower nearing completion at Winter Street in Sheffield. The lucky students will benefit from a fifth storey roof terrace featuring rooftop bar and rooftop cinema. As you can see from the photos the panoramic views over Sheffield are stunning! Fantastic work by main contractor Robertson Construction who are delivering on a tight construction programme on an even tighter site footprint! The development will feature 250 student bedspaces for CA Ventures with further amenity within split ground floor level featuring a double height entrance foyer. #pbsa #studentaccommodation #construction

56three were on site last week to view the great progress being made by Clark Contracts on site at our Stanley Place student accommodation project in Edinburgh. The first stair core of the reinforced concrete frame is now well underway designed by Etive Consulting Engineers and built by Stephenson Group. The development will deliver 102 studio apartments for @CA-Ventures and is due for completion May 2022. Let’s hope the great weather we are having continues for a long and productive summer! #pbsa #btr #residentialproperty #studentaccommodation #construction

56three are currently delivering a 6-storey 1960s

56three are currently delivering a 6-storey 1960s office building conversion to residential accommodation in Leicester after successfully obtaining permitted development prior approval last year. The project consists of 50 apartments with Ground Floor concierge and Basement amenity facilities. With the project nearing completion we wanted to share the rear view showing the new windows and feature banding to offset the original brick façade. With the increase in flexible working and work from home movement, we are seeing more of these conversions within the practice; specifically with Permitted Development Rights changes over the last 5 years. The challenge of planning requirements in terms of noise, space standards, and inner city air quality along with overall design, adaptation of existing building fabric and integration within the urban context needs careful consideration when developers look to maximise development value through minimal façade works. 56three are commercially minded with a sound understanding of the residential market and national planning legislation ideally positioning us for developers and stakeholders to ensure their buildings meet the current market trends and needs. #residentialdevelopment #btr #buildtorent #reuse #citycentre #cityliving #apartments

@56three are pleased to have submitted a Planning

@56three are pleased to have submitted a Planning Application for two new residential buildings in Sheffield as part of a wider masterplan for the site. This follows successfully securing a Section 73 consent for Kenworth Group on adjacent buildings, dramatically increasing density and value within the existing consent’s limitations. The two buildings designed around modular construction principles will create 197 new Build to Rent (BTR) homes within walking distance of the city centre. The new buildings will also contain social and amenity spaces that address the Porter Brook waterway that edges the north of the site, and a sky-gym and communal lounge on the top floors that will gain views across the city. The scheme also brings the walkway that follows the Porter Brook back into use reinstating this historic route that links the neighbouring conservation areas, and allowing the natural amenity of the river to be enjoyed. #PRS #buildtorent #residentialdevelopment #residentialproperty #planning #sheffield #btr #modular Project Management – MDA ConsultingPlanning Consultant – Scott Hobbs Planning LimitedEcology – Envirotech GroupTransport – Bryan G HallTrees – Ecus LtdFlood Risk/Drainage – RSK Group

56three are absolutely thrilled that our proposals

56three are absolutely thrilled that our proposals for Midhope Castle Distillery, on behalf of Golden Decanters, have received Planning Permission. The new Distillery will be located on the historic Hopetoun House Estate close to Midhope Castle, familiar to “Outlander” fans as “Lallybroch”. We have worked very closely with Rankin Fraser Landscape Architects to ensure that the new building will sit sensitively within the existing landscape setting. In time, the Distillery will be producing whisky from crop grown on the Hopetoun House Estate and visitors will have the fantastic opportunity to follow the whisky process from grain to glass.Golden Decanters Ltd - Clientrankinfraser landscape architecture llp - Landscape ArchitectCurrie & Brown - Project managerEtive Consulting Engineers Limited - Structural / Civil EngineerMcGregor Traffic Solutions LtdCundall - Mechanical ServicesAOC Archaeology Group - Archaeology#distillery #midhopecastle #lallybroch #outlander #whisky #hopetoun #architecture #planningapproval
