Location: Millfields Road, Hackney
Working with joint venture partners the site was acquired with the benefit of planning permission for student accommodation. The proposed building initially contained 35 studio flats, a guest flat, a common room, laundry and a store. A planning application was submitted for various amendments to the existing scheme including alterations and reconfiguration of the basement, increase to the footprint of the building at ground to 4th floor, relocation of integral bin store with access to Pedro Street, relocation of entrance to Pedro Street, re-configuration of internal layout to omit the communal lounge and guest accommodation to provide 6 additional units of student accommodation.
The revised scheme was granted Planning Permission on 30th August 2012, construction commenced in 2014 and the building was completed in 2015.
Swallow House is fully let.
