Summary:
- Hammerson has submitted plans for a 28-storey, 600-bed student accommodation tower at Newfoundland Circus, Bristol city centre, aiming to transform an underused site adjacent to Cabot Circus into a landmark development.
- The proposals include community-focused elements such as a multi-purpose pavilion, pocket park, flexible outdoor spaces, and improved pedestrian and cycle routes, aligning with Bristol City Council’s vision for the city centre and Frome Gateway.
- This project complements Hammerson’s broader Bristol strategy, which features enhancements at Quakers Friars, new retail anchors like M&S and UNIQLO at Cabot Circus, and leisure additions including an ODEON cinema opening in 2026, reinforcing the area’s mixed-use growth trajectory.
