McLaren Construction Midlands and North has completed a £26m student accommodation scheme in Nottingham, known as Fabric.
The nine-storey building, located at 77 Talbot Street, offers 323 bedrooms and a range of amenities, including a gym, yoga studio, and social study spaces.
Designed by Leonard Design Architects, the scheme features a mix of en-suite cluster bedrooms and premium studios.
The top floor has large-format studios with panoramic views across the city. Internally, the accommodation includes high-quality finishes and upgraded soft furnishings.
The scheme has achieved BREEAM Excellent and incorporates traditional foundations into the city’s sandstone bedrock.
Specialist works included cave probing to meet complex planning conditions.
Around 40% of the workforce was sourced locally, supporting regional employment and skills.
Luke Arnold, regional director at McLaren Construction Midlands & North, said: “Talbot Street now known as Fabric, has been a flagship project for our Midlands and North business – combining sustainable construction methods, collaborative delivery, and a strong commitment to community engagement.”
Ed Court, development director at McLaren Property, said: “Fabric is a great example of our purpose-built student accommodation, and we’re delighted to see Talbot Street completed to such a high standard.
“Working closely with McLaren Construction, we’ve delivered a scheme that reflects the evolving expectations of students – offering high-quality amenities, great design, and a strong focus on sustainability.”
