A development with 130 student beds is coming to Coventry city centre after the plans were approved by councillors.
The development, known as Charter House, will see an industrial site on Charterhouse Road transformed into a student accommodation scheme across four and six storey buildings.
This will be accompanied with amenities like study areas, lounges, and a gym; while there will be outdoor courtyard space and garden areas overlooking Sherbourne River
Bilal Ahmed, executive chairman & founder at Sama Investments, said: “We’re delighted to be granted planning approval for Charter House.
“As a brownfield site close to Coventry University, this is a fantastic opportunity to deliver a high-quality student accommodation scheme which will add real value to the city, supporting our growing educational institutions and meeting the increasing demand for student beds.
“Importantly, it will also help unlock existing family housing elsewhere in the city rather than force students to rely on HMOs and the private rented sector.
“Part of a wider transition within the area, these proposals are highly sustainable and seek to make best use of the site for the benefit of the whole community – driving local growth and creating jobs. We look forward to engaging with interested groups who can take this exciting opportunity forward at the site.”
The scheme is located a five-minute walk away from Coventry University campus.
