The Hawkins Road scheme

Watkin Jones completes PBSA development in Essex



Developer Watkin Jones has practically completed a 286-bed PBSA scheme in Colchester, Essex.


The Hawkins Road scheme is spread over a 92,000 sq ft area and was delivered on behalf of its clients, Moorfield Group and Melberry Developments, providing a mix of cluster and studio rooms across nine floors.

The building amenities include social, study, and gaming spaces in addition to a management suite and indoor and outdoor fitness spaces.

The new student accommodation aims to reduce emissions using the implementation of an air source heat pump, a grey-water irrigation system and charging points for electric cars.

The development has achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

Richard Harris, MD of group delivery at Watkin Jones, said: “With sustainability and state-of-the-art facilities at the forefront, this development represents our commitment to elevating standards of student living and creating a homely and positive experience for residents.”
