A city centre office block currently occupied by a major employer will soon be demolished. The Domestic & General building on Talbot Street will be knocked down to be replaced by a new 10-storey student accommodation tower, after Nottingham City Council approved the plans on June 24.
There will be 318 student beds in the building, as well as communal facilities at ground level. Domestic & General will move into their new premises on Station Street in late 2022.
People said the building 'stuck out' in an area "dominated" by newly built student accommodation. Mahadi Allam, 23, who studies business at Nottingham Trent University and lives nearby, said: "There are a lot of options around here. This area is dominated by student accommodation.
