Nottingham City Council has resolved to grant planning permission to McLaren Property for the redevelopment of 77 Talbot Road, Nottingham, into a 319-bedroom student accommodation development.

The scheme designed by Leonard Design Architects has communal facilities on the ground floor, including study areas, kitchens, a gym and a cinema, while the 319-bedrooms are situated across the nine-storey building.

The existing office building of five storeys was previously occupied by Domestic and General, the UK’s leading specialist warranty provider, has now relocated to a new development on Station Street. The brand-new student accommodation development will commence on site Q2 2023 with the scheme set to complete in 2025.

McLaren Property also celebrates the practical completion of a 639-bedroom student accommodation development in Warwick, forward funded by Student Roost and delivered by sister company McLaren Construction, the £38m (construction value) project was ready to receive students for the 2022/2023 academic year.

Ed Court, Development Director, McLaren Property, said: “We are committed to delivering high-quality, centrally located student accommodation that continues to generate demand from investors, and meets the needs of students. We’re excited to be re-purposing a prominent site in Nottingham by creating a new and improved street elevation and delivering exemplary architecture.
