Summary:
- Skybridge Property has submitted plans to Coventry City Council to replace 22 office buildings at Westwood Business Park with a 1,006-bedroom student housing scheme, including 236 studios and 770 cluster rooms, aimed at meeting demand near the University of Warwick.
- The development features eight-storey buildings with communal amenities, landscaped courtyards, and sustainability measures targeting a BREEAM “Very Good” rating, incorporating solar panels, air-source heat pumps, and water-saving systems.
