UK: Plans have been lodged to demolish the former Cirrus Logic office site in Edinburgh and replace it with a 300-bed PBSA asset.
Host Student Housing Management Limited and McKay Limited have subitted plans with designs by jmarchitects to City of Edinburgh Council for the site, next to Murrayfield Stadium.
It plans a mix of accommodation types including studios and cluster apartments in five-, six- and eight-bedroom formats. Communal amenities would include study space, a residents lounge, concierge and reception.
There will also be landscaped outdoor amenity spaces, a garden space addressing Westfield Road and 289 cycle parking spaces.
The applicant said: “Host offers hassle-free, all-inclusive student accommodation and provide students with a welcoming, reassuring and stress-free experience at university or college.”
It said the developable area is constrained by the HSE consultation zones centred on the adjacent Mcfarlan Smith site.
