Wates Construction has appointed the company to help deliver the Vita Student Village York scheme on the site of the former St Joseph's convent on St Lawrence Street.
The project will see some 660 high-end student residences built on the site for Select Property Group. Features include incorporating both refurbishment work to the original convent and extensive new build with the construction of multiple accommodation blocks.

SES will work across 15 buildings in total and use complex infrastructure and pipework to seamlessly tie the building services together.
Steve Joyce, SES Business Director North, said: "Having recently completed a smaller scheme in the North East we are well aware of the standard of accommodation that Select Property Group aims to provide and are delighted to have been appointed to work with Wates Construction, on what I believe will be an iconic project in the student accommodation sector."
Mark Oakes, Select Group's Chief Commercial Officer, added: "Our York site is in an optimum location close to both the city centre and the University of York and we're looking forward to opening the doors of our first Vita Student village in September and bringing our award winning brand to another city."
