DPK Group has secured a £113m loan from Firma Partners to fund the conversion of vacant offices at Royal Albert Dock in east London into a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme. The cash will support the redevelopment of the 450,000 sq ft office space at Royal Albert Dock into a PBSA scheme with 1,085 beds. The scheme will include 20 converted buildings along the riverfront with a gross development value of £300m. The current buildings were constructed by Brookfield Multiplex in 2019 and have been vacant since their Chinese developer ABP collapsed in 2022. The offices have strong ESG credentials, including BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ certifications. DPK Group acquired the site and won planning permission for the conversion in 2023, with proposals predominantly involving internal fit-out works with no structural changes. Homes for Students will operate the scheme upon completion. According to David Maxwell, founder of DPK Group, the Royal Albert Dock office is a “unique asset with exceptional connectivity and strong potential as a student-led campus environment”. He added: “Firma Partners understood the complexity and opportunity of this unique project and provided a tailored financing strategy that supports realistic delivery.” Victor Librae, chief executive of Firma Partners, said: “Royal Albert Dock is an extremely compelling opportunity that combines a genuine undersupply of student accommodation, a very strong institutional operator and a strategically located waterfront asset with incredible regeneration potential. “The conversion of vacant, high-quality office space into modern PBSA is exactly the kind of complex, value-unlocking repositioning project Firma was set up to support. We are delighted to partner with DPK Group on such a placemaking scheme that will make a meaningful contribution to London’s quality student housing supply.” Construction is expected to last around 18 months, with practical completion targeted for Q3 2027. Deloitte advised DPK Group on the transaction.
