The 123 Huntingdon Street Project, now known as Straits Village, completed in March 2021. DML acted as Development Manager, Project Manager, Quantity Surveyor and Employers Agent on behalf of Client Q Investment Partners based in Singapore.

It marks the end of a 4-year engagement which saw DML involved in the land purchase, planning application and approval, design process, procurement and managing the contractor on site. DML were also an investor in the scheme itself.

The project has delivered 300 high-quality purpose-built student accommodation rooms in a campus style scheme with a range of communal spaces including lounge, study, games room, cinema, private dining room and sky lounge. The quality of the project was of the upmost importance with the scheme now marketed under the Prestige Student Living Brand of operator Homes for Students. Rooms will cost from £150 to £199 per week targeted at students of both Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham.

DML were heavily involved throughout the project with the development finance process and monthly drawdowns with Maslow Capital and the transfer to investment finance facility with Invesco in April 2021.

The scheme was designed by Glenn Howells with Structa providing Structural and Civil Engineering and March Ltd the MEP engineering services.
