Construction News Image
Plans have been submitted for 301 student beds to be delivered in Birmingham's China Quarter.

Sama Investment Group have sought to transform a vacant brownfield site on Pershore Street into suitable accommodation across a stepped building of 4 storeys, 10 storeys and 15 storeys.

A social lounge, TV room, gym and workspaces would also be included in the transformation.

Alongside this, the sustainably focused scheme will deliver extensive areas for plants and foliage as well as a biodiversity-rich green roof area on level four of the building.

Bilal Ahmed, Founder and Executive Chairman of Sama Investment Group, said: "Our proposals for Pershore Street will transform this vacant brownfield site to deliver a flagship scheme that will bring much-needed student accommodation to the city, while also supporting the wider growth of the area.

"This would be a great addition for the 183,000 students in Birmingham, providing much-needed, high-quality living space in the vibrant Chinese Quarter.

"Alongside supporting the continued growth of our educational institutions, the proposals for Pershore St will help to unlock rental properties for other residents in the city."

Located near the city centre, it will also benefit from easy access to the Arcadian shopping centre, Hippodrome and Bullring.

To help promote active travel, 64 cycle spaces will be provided, while the scheme will be car-free, with a wide range of transport links close by including New Street and More Street Station, along with bus routes.
