George Downing

“Over the last 20 years of developing and investing in student accommodation, I have seen the market blossom and mature into an asset class in its own right.  Throughout this period, all of my developments have achieved double digit returns and I feel more confident than ever that we can build on our vast experience to achieve even greater things in this sector”

Hilary Dalton, Assistant Director, UK Border Agency

The move to The Capital was a huge decision for us at UKBA and therefore needed a construction company we could trust – not just with our brief on fit-out but with the security implications involved.  The George Downing Construction team were easy to work with – they understood our requirements from the start, delivered on time and within our budget and made the whole process a seamless and successful one.
