Hayloft Point, Aldgate East, London
Construction work has now started again on a flagship 920-bed scheme on the site of a former 1960s office block in the City of London.
Previously paused because of the Covid-19 pandemic, this mixed-use development will sit above the remains of the 16th Century, Shakespearian-era Boar’s Head Playhouse, which will be carefully preserved within the building’s footprint when it opens to students in 2022.
As well as providing accommodation, this project, in partnership with King’s College, includes flexible office space with incubator space for recent graduates, and a public exhibition area.
