I have been informed by the Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA) that Knightsbridge Student Housing Ltd (KSH) will deliver the student housing development at Bonham Street during the summer of 2016. The development, which will provide 471 student beds, is expected to be ready for occupation by students in September 2016, in time for the beginning of the academic year 2016–2017. Matters relating to the construction of the student accommodation are for the developer and not one in which I have a function. Under the terms of the strategic partnership agreement between KSH and DHDA , KSH refurbished an adjacent DHDA-owned building, the Grainstore, for use by the DHDA as enterprise office accommodation to expand its Digital Hub cluster. I formally opened the Grainstore building on 16 September and this brings to nine the number of office buildings in use at The Digital Hub.
