Cole Waterhouse and the Topland Group have won planning for their £100m, 680-bedroom student campus scheme near Wembley Stadium.

First Way will include a combination of purpose-built student accommodation as well as academic and outdoor space in the Wembley Park Regeneration area.

Cole Waterhouse chief executive Damian Flood said:

“This is a fantastic result for the whole development team behind First Way.”

“We are committed to delivering schemes that create hubs of student, residential and commercial activity and First Way does just that. We are now working towards starting on site in early 2018.”

The plans include a teaching resource centre, a 300-person auditorium, seminar rooms, staff office space and student amenity areas including a café restaurant, student lounge, a gym and library.

The scheme is due for completion in summer 2019.
