Study Group has signed for a new 10,604 sq ft University of Huddersfield – London campus at Chimney Walk on Sugar House Island, Stratford.
In partnership with the University of Huddersfield, Study Group will create a new satellite campus for postgraduate international students.
The CAT A offices at Chimney Walk front onto Stratford High Street, with the ground floor commercial units set to be occupied by a mix of cafes, restaurants, shops and services.
Two of the three buildings were granted dual use status earlier this year, which allows education and office tenants to occupy the building.
Michael Cronin, head of portfolio at Vastint UK, said, “At Sugar House Island we are a significant way into the 26-acre masterplan with a vision to transform this once industrial site into a vibrant community and thriving hub for learning, creativity, enterprise and innovation. Acquiring dual-use status on key buildings in Chimney Walk has future-proofed our development, creating a flexible environment where education and business can converge.
“With its unrivalled access to talent, its excellent transport links and its proximity to all the leisure, entertainment and green space that Stratford has to offer, Sugar House Island as a truly unique opportunity for businesses and organisations alike.”
July Behl, chief partnerships officer at Study Group, added, “We are delighted to be partnering with the University of Huddersfield to establish a London location for them. It was essential to find a location with impeccable international connections and an exciting offer and amenities for students. The purpose of our new business-focused campus at Sugar House Island is to put employability for our postgraduate students first, so, most importantly, the island’s proximity to the capital’s financial district was imperative for us.”
The leasing agents for Chimney Walk are Compton and Colliers.
