21 Storey Student Flats Eastern Blvd

Back in 2008 the first planning permission was sought to build an iconic building varying from two to twenty one storeys incorporating 369 student flats and a car park. The building was set to replace the old Brewin factory that was situated on the land before it was ruined by fire.

Since 2008 the whole project has stalled and revised planning permissions were put back to the council late 2009 to early 2010 and were conditionally approved in November 2010.

The client wishing to build this project is called Megaclose and is found in Nottingham while the designers are Maber of Leicester. The project is believed to cost around £13 million in total but this will deliver a building the city can be proud of.

This project is an interesting one as the design that has been put forward is one that is getting many interested because of its iconic nature as shown in the picture attached to this article.

As of today, Saturday 28th May 2011, the area for this building project has been levelled and a core drill was at the site sampling the ground for foundation work.

As more information comes to light on this interesting, but stop start project I will write more.
