HG Construction will deliver the seven‑storey scheme at 31 Amelia Street. Construction mobilisation is planned for early 2027, with completion expected in late spring 2029. The development will combine studios and cluster rooms with study space, a sky lounge and a roof terrace.

Strategic context

HG Living previously delivered the 350‑bed Sheares Hall in Newcastle with Soilbuild, with HG Construction responsable for construction. At Amelia Street, HG Living has spent several months revising the existing planning consent to improve the design, ensure regulatory compliance and refine the accommodation mix.

The partnership with the landowner, supported by development financing, allows the project to move from planning towards construction.
