In brief

Chamberlain Buildings is to be repurposed to deliver 205-bed student accommodation.

Made up of three elaborately decorated, late 19th – early 20th century buildings, Chamberlain Buildings contains two grand Grade II listed properties: Coleridge Chambers & Ruskin Chambers. The other, King Edward House, is unlisted.

All three will be sensitively restored and converted to provide student accommodation, in a mixture of clusters, studios, and one-and-two-bedroom apartments, across floors one to five. Significant student amenities will take priority at basement and ground floor levels across the site, bringing much-needed vibrancy to Corporation Street.

These will include a front-of-house concierge, study & informal meeting areas, dining spaces, lounges, a laundry, gymnasium & two bike stores for up to 134 cycles.

In addition, all existing commercial units will be modified and a strict design code applied to enable all shopfronts to adhere to consistency in terms of window graphics, signage, and design.

All images are the property of Broadway Malyan and BPG.
