Half of the residents have moved on from YMCA St Paul’s Group’s hostel accommodation, while the other half have been nominated by Merton Council.
Each identical flat has a net space of 26sqm, and contains a living space that includes a galley kitchen, separate bedroom and en-suite toilet and shower.
Y:Cube Mitcham is the first development of its kind for YMCA St Paul’s Group, and was opened in September 2015.

The construction is pioneering in that the Y:Cubes are built using unique off-site technology, and are assembled on-site, making it quicker than traditional builds.
