A stalled project to build three towers near Piccadilly Station is set to finally be finished - with major changes - three years after construction ground to a halt.
Building work on the 27, 21, and 16-storey towers stopped in May 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. If completed, the Echo Street development would have provided 242 student bedrooms and 642 Co-Living bedrooms, aimed at students and 'young professionals'.
New planning documents now show developer IQ Student Accommodation has revised its proposals, focusing solely on the university market. The design of the towers will stay close to the original plans, but increase by one storey each.
