McLaren Property has secured planning approval for the redevelopment of 77 Talbot Road, Nottingham, as a 319-bedroom student accommodation site.
Nottingham City Council signed off the developer’s plan to demolish the existing office building of five storeys and develop a nine-storey student housing block.
The proposed building, designed by Leonard Design Architects, has communal facilities on the ground floor including study areas, kitchens, a gym and a cinema.
77 Talbot Road was previously occupied by insurance company Domestic & General, which has relocated to a new development on Station Street.
Ed Court, development director at McLaren Property, said: “We are committed to delivering high quality, centrally located student accommodation that continues to generate demand from investors, and meets the needs of students.
“We’re excited to be repurposing a prominent site in Nottingham by creating a new and improved street elevation and delivering exemplary architecture. The redevelopment has also enabled Domestic & General to further invest and remain in Nottingham, with aims to expand its workforce.”
McLaren Property has recently completed the construction of a 639-bedroom student accommodation development in Warwick.
The £38m project was constructed by McLaren Property’s sister company, McLaren Construction, and forward-funded by Student Roost. The development is ready to receive students for the 2022/2023 academic year.
