Vega

London

Located in the heart of trendy Vauxhall, just off the south banks of the Thames, Vega is a 37-storey high quality purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme that was delivered in 2021.

Designed by TP Bennett, Vega spans across two new buildings on Rudolph Place containing 841 student beds and Miles Yard, a six-storey contemporary office development.

It is not Downing’s first development in the area, following Atlas. The aim of the development was to build on the success of the previous scheme by designing and delivering high quality, modern, economically, environmentally and socially sustainable student housing.
