GHL (Selly Oak) Ltd, a collaboration between Apsley House Capital and Galliard Homes, snapped up the brownfield site last year, adding to its Birmingham-focused portfolio.
Designed by Corstorphine + Wright, two builds of four and six storeys will be introduced, bringing together 836 student beds - 364 en-suite clusters, and 472 studios - as well as new retail and commercial space.
This will see a reactivated Bristol Street, a new medical facility for the local community, and, boosting connectivity, four public amenity areas with a public realm and plaza space, a retained Selly Oak tree, and a centralised link street.
Students living here will benefit from a gymnasium, cinema, study room, wellness areas, and lounges, with small, private courtyards and roof terraces.
There will be 34 car parking spaces for the medical centre, with three loading bays, four disabled student bays, and 472 cycles spread across the site.
