Student transformation set for prominent building - Insider Media

‍

Newcastle-Under-Lyme's Deakins Yard, formerly known as Sky Building, is set to be transformed into student accommodation by Integritas Property Group after the securing of more than £11m of funding.

The funding from Brydg will support the initial work of the new Deakin's Yard project.

The Deakins Yard development is now being managed by IPG, which has experience of similar projects across the North West. The development is named after former resident Fanny Deakin, a politician from Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Mitchell Walsh, chief executive of Integritas Property Group, said: "IPG is committed to seeing this project through.

"We understand that the site has been unsightly for a while, and we believe that transforming it into something that will greatly benefit the student population of Newcastle-under-Lyme and bring investment opportunities to the area will improve the prospects in the region."
