Developed by Topland Vintage Group and McLaren Property on behalf of iQ Student Accommodation (iQ), the completed scheme now provides 1,209 rooms in a campus environment.
Its completion marks the culmination of a major regeneration project which has revitalised a previously underused business park, helping to strengthen the University of Warwick鈥檚 student accommodation offering. The first phase of the development, comprising 572 beds, completed in 2025 and the second phase involved delivering 637 beds.
Replacing outdated office buildings and a former multi-storey car park, the scheme involved the demolition of Avon House, Swift House and associated structures to make way for nine new residential blocks across the two phases.
During the project, materials from the original buildings including bricks, stone and concrete were crushed and reused on site, significantly reducing construction waste and supporting the project鈥檚 sustainability objectives.
Completing iQ Longwood Place brings the total number of beds delivered by McLaren 萝莉原创 Midlands & North to 2,870. This includes all phases of iQ Longwood Place, alongside schemes in Nottingham and Manchester.
Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren 萝莉原创 Midlands & North, said: 鈥淭he completion of iQ Longwood Place is a hugely significant milestone for McLaren 萝莉原创, Coventry and the wider University of Warwick community. This development has transformed a former business park into a vibrant new student village and played an important role in re-energising the area."
