By GlobalDataAdditionally, the development is located in close proximity to Nottingham city centre, Nottingham Trent University and Sneinton Market.
The project is estimated to create nearly 300 jobs during the construction phase and 40 full-time jobs when it is completely operational.
Godwin Developments development director Matt Chandler said: “The city is a key UK hub for higher education, with an ever-growing student population. As a business with a local presence, we recognise the substantial contribution that young people make to its potential.
“With the number of full-time students expected to increase by approximately 28% in the next few years, there is a clear requirement for more dedicated student spaces where young people can live, study, and play together.
“The Bendigo Building will cater to these needs while also freeing up traditional housing stock, allowing homes to return to their intended family use – responding to the aspirations of many local residents.”
