This thread is for the development of a site in the Baltic Triangle, with elevations facing both Norfolk Street and Watkinson Street. The site houses 1-2 storey industrial sheds of no architectural value. The plans call for the site to be developed with a part 7/part 8 storey building comprising 126 student flats with ground floor commercial space. The original proposals were for 171 student flats in a 10 storey block, but the council's HRC saw the plans reduced to the current level. The developer is Borden Properties Limited, and the architect is NS Architects.

Site Progress
- Despite only being granted planning permission on 30th January 2018, by 25th February, demolition of the existing structures was substantially complete. Clearly they have one eye on getting this ready for the 2019 academic year.
