£18.5m Glassworks nearing completion

THE £18.5m Glassworks student accommodation building in Liverpool is nearing completition.

The project on Vauxhaull Road in Liverpool will see the creation of more than 300 en suite apartments and luxury studios across eight storeys.

Property developer Crosslane Student Developments, in partnership with construction and development specialist Pochin’s have carried out a topping out ceremony at the bulding.

Crosslane appointed North West property specialist Pochin’s last May for the construction of Glassworks, which it says will offer unrivalled accommodation to Liverpool’s blooming population of almost 55,000 students.

Crosslane and Pochin’s marked the topping out by presenting North West charity, the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust, with a cheque for £6,000. The donation will contribute to the Trust’s ongoing support for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children across the region.

Crosslane Student Developments director Andy Whatson said: “Liverpool’s student population has swelled in recent years, and we’re thrilled to be able to establish a presence in this fantastic city. The demand for high quality student accommodation continues to grow and we envisage that Glassworks will be at the forefront of that market.
 
“We have developed a significant addition to Liverpool’s student community, and I’d like to thank Pochin’s for their integral support in delivering our vision for this project.”

Managing director of Pochin’s Construction Jonathan Pochin: “Pochin’s has a long and successful history in Liverpool and we’re excited to be taking on further work in this vibrant city as we continue to deliver high quality projects across the region.
 
“We’re also delighted to be able to further our growing relationship with Crosslane, who have very kindly offered to support our chosen charity, the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust.”
