Crosslane completes £18.5m Glassworks

Crosslane Student Developments, part of the Crosslane Group, has opened a 323-apartment scheme in Vauxhall Road, Liverpool.

Glassworks contains a mix of en-suite flats and self-contained studio apartments.

The development will be operated by Crosslane’s operational platform, Prime Student Living, which provides management, marketing and letting services for student accommodation assets.

Crosslane Student Developments bought the site, a former glassworks factory, in March 2014. Pochin’s Construction was the main contractor.

Andy Whatson, director of Crosslane Student Developments, said: “According to Liverpool council’s recently published student accommodation review up to 34,000 students need accommodation in Liverpool every year. We are pleased that we are able to help meet that demand with our newly opened site at Vauxhall Road and are keen to explore other opportunities in this vibrant city.”
