A £6.5 million student development in Liverpool city centre has reached full capacity thanks to strong investor interest from overseas.

All 94 studios at Pembroke Studios have been sold off-plan, six weeks after work on the redevelopment of the Salters Building began.

Developer Yu Property Group (YPG) is behind the six-storey 40,000 sq ft development on Pembroke Place.

Designed by architects Smith & McHugh, the project also contains ground floor retail space, a student management office, cycle storage and laundry facilities.

Located next to Liverpool University’s north campus, Royal Liverpool University Hospital and Lime Street Station, the development is due for completion in July 2017.

Jonathan Yu, managing director of YPG, says: “Just six weeks since builders moved on to the site, the response to Pembroke Studios has been huge. It’s an exciting time for Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter, and with LJMU’s Copperas Hill development underway just around the corner, the studios are a great addition to the ongoing investment in the area.

“Overseas interest has been key to the overwhelming success of Pembroke Studios, and with investors’ interest in the city’s residential offering remaining strong in the wake of Brexit, their faith in Liverpool’s property market is evident.”
