A North East property investment firm is expanding its student accommodation portfolio with the redevelopment of a long-vacant city centre site.
Ward Group Investments (WGI) has acquired Hopper House on Atherton Street in Durham, securing planning approval to transform the former council office into a 45-bed purpose-built student accommodation scheme.
The 18,000sq ft building has stood empty for more than a decade and will now be brought back into use ahead of the 2027 academic year.
