Vita Student in Strawberry Place, Newcastle is a 10-storey student accommodation development consisting of 331 beds, incorporating a number of 5-bedroom cluster apartments and 271 studios, plus a large social hub with movie rooms, seating areas, study spaces and a gym.

This 115,400 sq. ft. development is located beside Newcastle United’s football ground, St. James Park. It is one of many Vita student accommodations by Select Property Group, a specialist in delivering all-inclusive student accommodation with a focus on building student communities.

Vita Student was the first of three phases in a new development scheme for Strawberry Place with a huge mixed-use development with offices and a hotel also being built.

Systems Used

Speedclad Ltd installed our TB50 curtain wall system and ST60 window systems at every elevation of this $32.6 million development. Our ST60 rebated door systems were also installed.

Design Criteria

The scheme was carefully designed by Ryder Architecture in relation to Leazes Park Conservation Area to the north and alongside existing and proposed buildings to the south, west and east.

The development is focused around a central landscaped courtyard that spills out from a double-height, light filled student hub space.

System Partner: Flynn Group of Companies

APA Facade Systems recently completed works on The Roy in Halifax. The Roy is located in the historical warehouse district at 1650 Granville Street. A $50 million development by Starfish Properties, this modern 22-story ultra-luxurious condominium has a total of 86 condos. Below this, it features 3 floors of commercial space and 4 floors of above-grade parking, serviced by 2 vehicular elevators.

The Design

The Roy has a beautiful contemporary style, exquisite amenities and unrivaled views across Halifax. Designed by IBI Group, the facade treatment of the tower is handled in two distinct ways. The east and south elevations are treated with undulating articulated aluminum curtain wall and the north and west elevations will be brick-clad with a fenestration pattern, like the neighboring Johnston Building.

Systems Used

APA Facade Systems worked in conjunction with Flynn Group of Companies on this prestigious project. We provided Flynn with our design-assist service and manufactured our TB50 curtain wall system and high-performance ST80 windows and doors. Our systems cover the majority of the 325,000 sq. ft. building, which was completed in July 2019.

Here at APA Facade Systems, our team is committed to excellent environmental practice towards a greener, more sustainable environment. Our aluminum glazing profiles are designed and manufactured to conform with industry environmental standards, helping you achieve a silver, gold or platinum LEED certification.
