Sama Investments has unveiled plans to deliver a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSAA)-led scheme on the site of an office building formerly occupied by Birmingham City Council.
The Perryian Works development at 1 Lancaster Circus in Birmingham city centre, will comprise two towers, one of up to 50-storeys.
The scheme will also feature new outdoor courtyards and public open space, in addition to commercial and leisure space.
Bilal Ahmed, executive chairman and founder of Birmingham-based Sama Investments, said: “Our proposals for 1 Lancaster Circus will transform this underutilised site to deliver a flagship scheme that will create a new gateway into Birmingham, whilst also supporting the wider regeneration of the area.
“We will deliver much-needed student accommodation to support the vibrancy of our growing universities in Birmingham. Our plans also offer street-level community uses and green space for residents and the wider community to enjoy. This is supported by a pedestrian corridor that will connect parts of the city to this area.
“We’ve worked closely with partners to ensure this exciting project delivers true value for the area. We look forward to continuing our progress with the city and our partners to deliver Perryian Works in the coming years, driving local growth, and creating hundreds of jobs in the process.”
