The Development

Fusion Students' £1.5bn joint venture with Cain International seeks to regenerate this derelict Bristol Road site with a c. 620-bed PBSA. (657 bedspaces refused is now at appeal; 26 storeys)

Redevelopment of The Tree site, a former public house - now derelict - proposes c. 620 three and four-bedroom clusters, a range of studios & one-bedroom apartments, all within four linked buildings, with the tallest rising to 17 storeys fronting onto Bristol Road and Belgrave Middleway.

The other buildings will remain subservient to the taller block and will rise to eight, 10 & 11 storeys.

With a key focus on well-being to ensure happy and healthy living, students will be spoilt for choice. Facilities include a 24-hour concierge, a central courtyard, study spaces, an auditorium/cinema, a karaoke TV room, a games room, laundry, lounges, dining rooms, and a gym & basketball court.

The main source of transport will be the 162 cycles within a secure double-stacked system, with potential for 80 more externally, adjacent to an  existing cycle highway.
