Councillor Dave Trimble declared the building officially open thanking Church Lukas, the architects for designing a building that students really wanted to live in and ensuring its future through its design and Unipol for its continued efforts in the area of accreditation and improvements to student housing in the city. The opening saw more than 30 guests attend who took the opportunity to take a tour of this fantastic new student development that saw its first student residents in September 2014.
Situated on Castle Boulevard next to the canal, Graystacks is a new terrace of 7 elegant 12 bedroom town houses, designed and built by local company Church Lukas and managed by Unipol Student Homes. The building offers affordable yet contemporary living with all the modern facilities demanded by the discerning students of Nottingham.
Current tenant and University of Nottingham student Samuel Njoroge said “the thing that caught my eye was the design of Graystacks, it is completely different to anything I’ve ever seen before”
Local resident and co-ordinator of the Nottingham Action Group Maya Fletcher said “Students arriving in a few weeks have a better standard of accommodation to look forward to and that is thanks to Unipol. In the end what every ship needs is good management and Graystacks has the very best in Unipol”.
Nottingham City Council's Portfolio Holder for Planning and Housing, Councillor Jane Urquhart, said: "Graystacks is exactly the kind of modern student accommodation we would like to see more of in the city. We are keen to see a move away from students living in traditional family houses in multiple occupation, which often don't offer the sort of accommodation that students rightly expect these days. Graystacks provides a modern take on a shared house with community living, excellent facilities and a low carbon footprint."
