Student rooms and build-to-rent specialist Watkin Jones has forward sold a planned 600-bed student scheme in London near Wembley stadium.<\/p>\n

Property investor DWS will pay Watkins Jones \u00a390m for the\u00a0purpose-built student accommodation scheme, released in phase during the course of the build, which is due to complete in 2021\/22.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0mixed-use redevelopment of Kelaty House on First Way in Wembley has planning consent for\u00a0the purpose-designed student\u00a0rooms,\u00a0a retail offering and substantial landscaped external communal area. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It forms part of a wider mixed-use site, which also includes the previously announced 300 build to rent apartments and associated underground car park which Watkins Jones is contracted to develop for Kelaty Propco – a Singaporean joint venture between Lum Chang Holdings and Sin Heng Chan. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Simpson, chief executive officer of Watkin Jones, said:<\/span>\u00a0“We are delighted to partner with DWS in the forward sale of our Wembley PBSA scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“It is significant that a global institution has invested in their first student accommodation scheme in the UK by partnering with Watkin Jones for both the development and then the management of the asset. \u00a0Our track record in developing into the robust UK PBSA sector is well proven as this transaction highlights.\u00a0 We look forward to deepening our development pipeline and leveraging our expertise further.”<\/span><\/p>\n
