MCR Property Group has secured full planning consent to redevelop Lonsdale House in the heart of Birmingham. Positioned on the corner of Blucher Street and Upper Gough Street, the prominent city centre site will be transformed into a striking 10-storey student accommodation scheme delivering 198 high-quality bed spaces.
Designed by LRW Architects, the new development will feature a mix of modern studios and spacious 7 and 8-bedroom clusters, supported by generous internal amenity space, secure cycle storage, and active street-level frontages. The architecture combines red brick and contemporary metallic detailing, creating a confident visual identity that respects its setting opposite the Grade II listed Craven Arms.
A press release will follow soon with further updates and key milestones.
