Just outside Colindale station, to the right, there is a new

It seems to be being constructed entirely from Containers sellotaped
together. I mean those sea containers.
Has anyone seen it. Is this normal construction? And how can it
take so long?
Another hipster hangout?
In Colindale?
Could be this. Ye can see the concrete fire escape tower on streetview.
"18 storey
building comprising apart-hotel use to 55 rooms and 319 student
accommodation units (Sui Generis) with associated communal space. "

Nothing in there references sea containers though.
Thanks. Like Offramp I have been puzzled by this construction and its
purpose. Apart from the strange container-like units and snail like
progress it also appears to have almost no windows. Seems very odd even
for students.
Noted the comment about the "Colindale transport hub" - a whole new way
of describing a tube station with one bus stop for two local routes
(opposite stop is a long way down the road).
