Located at the intersection of Bath Street and Brook Street, the overarching ‘true Nottingham’ development will stand as a 13-storey tower featuring 661 bedrooms.

This includes 417 studios, 208 cluster apartments, and 36 accessible rooms, all designed for students’ needs.

The development will offer a range of amenities such as a gym, festival zone, breakout areas, meeting rooms, a landscaped garden, and secure parking for cars and bicycles.

The project is stated to have already delivered £6m ($7.48m) in social economic returns, provided construction careers, and injected £8m into the local economy.
