The Stratford Studios project marked the transformation of a redundant office block on Romford Road into a vibrant residential community through permitted development rights. Completed in 2022, the £12.5 million scheme delivered 158 high-quality studio apartments designed primarily for students and young professionals seeking modern, efficient living spaces in East London. Each unit was fully fitted to maximise space and comfort, supported by communal facilities including co-working areas, lounges, secure access, and concierge services. The development illustrates how disused commercial stock can be repurposed to meet growing demand for affordable and well-connected accommodation in London.
Located in the heart of Stratford, East London, just minutes from Stratford Regional Station and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the project provides residents with unrivalled transport connections and access to one of the capital’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods. Delivered for Aquastrada Ltd, with funding support from Aberdeen Standard Investments, and managed with professional oversight from consultancies such as Quartz Project Services, the conversion spans approximately 5,853 m² (63,000 sq ft). The result is a sustainable and cost-effective scheme that supports local regeneration while delivering modern student housing tailored to contemporary urban lifestyles.
