WATCH: Major new student development takes shape on Lancaster quayside

London based developers U&I Plc and Development Securities Plc, are delivering the site as a partnership called Luneside East Ltd.

The development is scheduled to open to students in September 2020.

Known as Luneside, the accommodation is being managed by CRM Students, which operates over 50 student schemes, with 23,000 bed spaces across the UK.

Lancaster City Council said the development is part of The Luneside East Regeneration Project, which will create a new quarter of the city with a mix of housing, commercial space, high quality open spaces and walking and cycling routes.

Much of the land along the river Lune in St George’s Quay has already been developed for housing.

The former mill, St George’s Works, was demolished on November 5 2018.Our videographer Kelvin Stuttard captured some video of the work in progress.
