Plans to build more than 500 flats on the site of a city centre car park have been revealed. The proposal would see 250 co-living rooms for young people and key workers and 320 student rooms built at the Rupert Street car park site in Broadmead.
The NCP car park in Lewins Mead would be removed in its current form, but a replacement car park with 412 spaces, 86 spaces less than the current capacity, would be built. Cafés and co-working spaces are also included in the plans.
A 21-storey tower block would sit in the centre of the site. At present, the tallest building in Bristol is still the spire of St Mary Redcliffe Church , with claims the 26-storey Castle Park View, which was completed this year, potentially taller, depending on where the split-level base is measured from.
