Sama Investment Group has submitted a planning application for a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme on a brownfield site in the heart of Birmingham’s China Quarter.
The new scheme will deliver 301 student beds across a stepped building of four storeys, 10 storeys and 15 storeys on Pershore Street.
The on-site amenity provision will include a social lounge, TV room, gym and workspaces.
Bilal Ahmed, founder and executive chairman of Sama Investment Group, said: “Our proposals for Pershore Street will transform this vacant brownfield site to deliver a flagship scheme that will bring much-needed student accommodation to the city, while also supporting the wider growth of the area.
“This would be a great addition for the 183,000 students in Birmingham, providing much-needed, high-quality living space in the vibrant Chinese Quarter. Alongside supporting the continued growth of our educational institutions, the proposals for Pershore St will help to unlock rental properties for other residents in the city.”
