Godwin plans 700-bed scheme at Nottingham Royal Mail site

Godwin Developments has submitted plans for a 692-bed student scheme at the former Royal Mail sorting office in Nottingham city centre. Plans for the Bendigo Building will see blocks of 12 to 15 storeys on the site, which has been vacant for almost two decades. The scheme will comprise mainly clusters of four, five and six-bedroom flats with disabled accessible studio rooms. Amenities include a lounge area, gym, study and games room. Matt Chandler, development director at Godwin Developments, said: “The city is a key UK hub for higher education, with an ever-growing student population. As a business with a local presence, we recognise the substantial contribution that young people make to its potential. “They bring energy and vibrancy to the area, draw in private investment, boost local businesses through discretional spend, support the day and night-time economy, and add to the ongoing city-wide regeneration initiatives.” To send feedback, e-mail emma.rosser@egi.co.uk or tweet @EmmaARosser or @estatesgazette Image courtesy of Godwin Developments
