Scheduled for completion in September 2021, LIV Student Belfast on York Street is set to offer a unique and refreshing approach to student living, and will support the new Ulster University campus in the city centre.
Ranging from 12 to 14 storeys, the complex will provide 576 en-suite bedrooms; shared communal areas and kitchens; 141 studios; retail units; a ground floor carpark; and landscaped courtyard areas.
Groundworks for the £35.9m scheme began in July 2019.
Jonathan Hall, GRAHAM Regional Managing Director, said: "It is a tremendous achievement for our team, in partnership with Valeo, to have reached the topping out milestone. The quality of the build to this point has been exceptional, and I am confident the prospective students who will come to live and study within the high-end complex will be impressed by the exemplar design, and the innovative incorporation of internal and external communal space.

"We are proud to be working alongside Valeo to realise its vision of developing these contemporary residences that will enhance the well-being of students, and help to transform their learning experience."
GRAHAM was appointed by Valeo to deliver the LIV Student complex in April 2019 following a competitive tendering process.
Over 10,000m3 of concrete has been poured since the project commenced, while a range of water conservation measures, such as reusing water to make more concrete in a closed loop, have been successfully introduced.
LIV Student Belfast is just one of a number of major projects that we are completing in Belfast city centre with the 35,000 sq ft refurbishment and fit out of Eagle Star House, just a short distance from Belfast City Hall, another example of the Hillsborough headquartered company's local footprint.
