Birmingham and Manchester schemes to see the construction of nearly 1,800 student rooms
Plans have been lodged for two more student accommodation developments - a 1,200-room scheme in Birmingham and a 580-bed scheme in Manchester.
University College Birmingham proposals for the Cambrian Wharf scheme designed by Associated Architects consists of two linked towers rising to 15 and 35 storeys.
The towers would be built on a 1.7 acre site next to UCB’s main campus building near the Jewellery quarter and will require the demolition of the university’s existing 1970s Cambrian Hall buildings.
In Manchester, developer Manner has submiitted plans for a 36-storey tower. The plans have been drawn up by Hodder & Partners.
The Hotspur Press scheme, Manner’s first development in Manchester, comes five years after Hodder & Partners’ unbuilt 28-storey tower proposal for the site was given council approval.
The two planning applications follow developer Town Centre Securities’ recent submission of proposals for a 35-storey student accommodation tower in Leeds designed by local architect Enjoy Design.
