HG Construction has bagged its first Birmingham scheme after being picked by Fusion Group to deliver a 622-bed purpose-built student accommodation job on Bristol Road.

The scheme will rise across four blocks ranging from eight to 17 storeys, and includes a wellness zone, two-storey gym, basketball court and landscaped gardens.

The project marks a significant step in Fusion’s plan to expand its 11,000-bed pipeline with high-end student schemes in top-tier university cities.

The job is a milestone for HG as it extends its reach across the UK, having already established a presence in Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle in recent years.

HG chief executive Adam Quinn said: “This scheme marks an important milestone for HG Construction as we continue to expand our presence across the UK.”

“We work hard to maximise social value opportunities across our schemes, and we look forward to building new relationships and making a positive impact in Birmingham.”
