Nottingham’s city council has granted approval for the construction of a significant new student accommodation complex, comprising nearly 400 flats. This represents a second phase of student housing development at the city’s Island Quarter, located on Manvers Street. This development follows the completion of the adjacent 693-bed Winfield Court, which commenced operations in September. According to developer Conygar, the 394 new spaces will be distributed across four interconnected blocks, varying in height from seven to 11 storeys. Conygar stated that the project design incorporates 313 beds within “cluster flats” and an additional 81 beds in single occupancy studios. Furthermore, the complex will feature amenities such as a gym, a laundry room, lounges, and “breakout areas”. Conygar, the company that acquired the Island Quarter site in 2016, has committed to providing financial contributions for affordable housing, local employment, and training opportunities. Additionally, the developer will implement a student management scheme.
