Summary:
- A 282-bed purpose-built student accommodation scheme in Bristol’s Redcliffe district has received planning consent, involving the demolition of a vacant office building and the construction of two 10-storey and one nine-storey wings designed by Alec French Architects.
- The development will include 133 en-suite bedrooms, 149 studios, 10 accessible apartments, communal facilities such as roof terraces, lounges, a gym, and 142 bicycle spaces, aiming to provide high-quality student housing in a sustainable, well-connected location near university campuses.
- The project, submitted by ROK Planning on behalf of 63 St Thomas Street, Bristol Limited, is expected to ease pressure on the local private rental market, support Bristol’s regeneration goals, and generate economic benefits through increased student spending and job creation during construction and operation.
