Low carbon Accommodation

Nelson Place is Belfast’s largest student accommodation, offering 774 luxury en-suite and studio rooms. Student Roost’s Nelson Place property also houses Ulster University’s brand-new, state-of-the-art sports centre and wellbeing facilities, including a rooftop running track and communal spaces such as a sky lounge.

The impressive 245,000 sq ft student residence in Belfast features AG’s Low Carbon Masonry Brick with Enduur 1 benefits, engineered to deliver an array of enhancements, from increased strength to a lower carbon footprint and advanced hydrophobic performance. AG’s Low Carbon Masonry Bricks incorporate new technology, production techniques, and innovative additive and mix designs.

In partnership with GRAHAM and Fletcher Joseph Associates, the 12-storey Nelson Place building features Tullamore Antique facing brick, adding character to the city’s surroundings. This mix technology ensures long-term resistance to fading, even in harsh and exposed environments.

Anna Killough, Regional Operations Manager at Student Roost, Belfast, commented:

“We’re delighted to have completed Nelson Place, the largest student accommodation building in Belfast, which completes our student quarter in the city. All of the property’s features have been carefully curated to fundamentally support students’ physical and mental wellbeing, setting them up for success both personally and academically.”
