Featuring two accommodation blocks, the development connects two pieces of land between Caton and Bulk Roads, and is near to where the 630-bed Caton Court student flats were built in 2019.
The plans also include the area between Farm Foods and the former Kashish restaurant in Parliament Street.
Dana car wash was on part of the site, as well as A Cut Above carpet shop.
Student accommodation specialists Primus Property Group are behind the plans for 388 studio apartments (for single occupancy) with communal space split across two building blocks – eight storeys and six storeys high – connected by an external courtyard.
The development will include games room, common living area, private dining room, group study spaces, cinema room, gym, yoga studio and outdoor social area.
These drone pictures taken by our photographer, Kelvin Lister-Stuttard, give a fantastic view from above of the site and show that work is well under way.
