Centurion acquires London site for $75m

The firm plans to develop a 225-bed student accommodation. 

Centurion Overseas Investments acquired a site at William Road in London for £43.46m ($75m) for the development of a 225-bed purpose-built student accommodation (PSBA).

The acquisition of the property, which comprises Willian Road 17-33 and 35-37, is in line with Centurion Corp. Limited’s strategy of adding student accommodations in the United Kingdom. 

Lot 35-37 is proposed to be redeveloped into a 225-bed PBSA with a mix of studio units and en suite cluster accommodation.

The building will comprise a basement, ground floor, and 14 upper levels, and will include approximately 341 square metres of communal amenity space for residents, Centurion said.

Meanwhile, lot 17-33 William Road is intended to be refurbished to provide 1,090 square metres of office space.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
