Description

J&S McKee Ltd were proud to be awarded the supply and fix contract for the construction of this landmark 13-storey purpose-built managed student accommodation development at 123 York Street, Belfast.

Our works package included:

  • Full site clearance and enabling works
  • Installation of reinforced concrete substructures
  • Construction of the ground floor slab
  • Installation of the main drainage system

The development comprises 407 student rooms above a ground floor retail unit, along with a reception area, office space, gym, cycle parking, and car parking facilities.

Working to a strict programme, the J&S McKee team successfully delivered our package on time and on budget, supporting the overall project timeline for opening in September 2019.

The site was previously occupied by Philip House, a five-storey office building, which was demolished in May 2017 to make way for this modern, high-rise accommodation block.
