Stace sees Hallsville Quarter Phase Four student scheme to practical completion
The consultancy acted as Employer's Agent to Bouygues UK on the 375-room student block in Canning Town, the penultimate stage of what Stace puts at a £650m masterplan.
Stace has announced that Phase Four of the Hallsville Quarter scheme in Canning Town has reached practical completion, with the consultancy acting as Employer's Agent to Bouygues UK on the 375-room student accommodation building.
Bouygues UK was both developer and main contractor on the phase, Stace said in a news post dated 9 November 2026. Stace described the contractor as a long-standing client.
The building will be operated by ARK Living under the name ARK Canning Town, which Stace said would be the brand's first dedicated student residence.
The scheme
According to Stace, the phase provides a mix of studios and en-suite rooms, alongside commercial space and student amenity areas. Amenities include communal lounges, landscaped roof terraces, study areas, a gym and meeting rooms.
PRP designed the building and Holloway Li handled the interiors, Stace said. The development has achieved BREEAM Excellent certification.
Stace's announcement gives the building as 10 storeys. Its own project page for the scheme, however, describes 375 rooms across 11 storeys.
Programme
Stace's project page had said the phase was expected to complete in summer 2026. In its completion announcement the consultancy said practical completion was achieved "well ahead" of the 2026/2027 academic year, so the building was ready for this year's student intake.
The wider masterplan
Stace describes Phase Four as the penultimate stage of what it puts at a £650m Hallsville Quarter masterplan. According to the consultancy, the wider masterplan has provided more than 1,100 private and affordable homes, over 30,000 sq m of leisure and retail space, a hotel and new public spaces.
Hallsville Quarter in turn forms part of the Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme, which Stace puts at £3.7bn. The London Borough of Newham has described the Canning Town and Custom House project as one of the largest regeneration schemes in the capital.
With Phase Four complete, one further stage of the Hallsville Quarter masterplan remains to be delivered.
