HB Reavis has recently expanded its portfolio into the living sectors, securing planning approval for its first purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme. This development is located at 10 Leake Street in Waterloo, London, and involves the redevelopment of an existing office building. The approved plans detail a 233-room student accommodation facility, offering a mix of studios and shared cluster flats. The scheme is designed to include a welcoming lobby, a study lounge, a shared dining area, a rooftop terrace with views of London, a wellbeing-focused fitness studio, and secure cycle spaces. The project targets low-carbon emissions and aims for BREEAM Excellent accreditation, reflecting the company's commitment to sustainable design. The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has expressed support for the Waterloo development, particularly noting its proximity to the LSE campus, access to public transport, and the inclusion of affordable student accommodation. This initiative represents a strategic diversification for HB Reavis, building on its experience in city-centre development to address the demand for professionally managed student homes in central London.
