Its client is sister company Downing Students, which specialises in purpose built student accommodation. Architect for the project is SimpsonHaugh.
Planning has been secured for the building which will be located next to its sister site, City Village, on Bond Street in Coventry. City Village, which opened in 2017, formed the first phase of Coventry’s Belgrade Plaza student complex and is one of the tallest buildings in the city.
The new building opens next year, all being well.
