Go-ahead for one of world's tallest student skyscrapers in Stratford
Evening Standard
|April 09, 2024
UNIVERSITY housing provider Unite has been given the green light for a 41-storey student skyscraper in Stratford that will be among the tallest buildings of its kind in the world, as providers seek to build up to solve the capital's chronic shortage of dedicated accommodation.
The tower at Meridian Square, which will host almost 1,000 students, is set to complete in 2028, Unite revealed today. It will top out higher than the current tallest student building in the world, Nido Spitalfields, but a building currently underway in Leeds, due to complete in 2026, is set to be even taller.
It will be a centrepiece in Stratford's fast-changing timeline, rivalling Manhattan Loft Gardens and the Stratford Yards North Tower for the title of the tallest building in Newham. The block will be part of a wider £400 million development, which will also include a new entrance and exit to Stratford Underground Station.
