Plans for a new residential building, reaching to 18 storeys, on Queens Road in Nottingham City Centre have been submitted.
MRP Nottingham Ltd are behind the proposals, which represent Phase 2 of the wider redevelopment of the former 1-4 Queen’s Road site. Phase 1 comprises a 406 bed student accommodation building currently under construction.
The new plans are for a hybrid residential development, comprising Build to Rent (BtR) and shared apartments. The building will be positioned to the south of the brownfield site, forming a central courtyard to be shared by both the Phase 1 student accommodation building and the proposed Phase 2 residential building.
The development would contain 274 dwellings (a mix of build-to-rent studios, 1 bed, 2 bed, and 3 bed apartments, and shared 4 and 5 bed apartments) as well as a range of amenity spaces, including co-working space, meeting rooms, a cafe, landscaped roof terrace, and sky lounges.
A planning statement submitted to Nottingham City Council says the scheme “will redevelop an underutilised site for residential use and add to the choice of housing available in the city centre. The proposed development will preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the Station Conservation Area and improve the wider street scene.”
