Philharmonic Court, situated off Catharine Street, will deliver 354 student rooms for the University in clusters of four to six bedrooms over four to five floors, with a private courtyard for students.
Worthington Properties has already demolished five outdated student blocks at the site and is well underway with laying the foundations for the new build. The steelwork is due to begin before the end of September.
A new pedestrian route linking Caledonia Street to Falkner Street will also be created, reinstating the historic pattern of the area and creating a green edge around the buildings.
The contemporary courtyard, enclosed by the student building, is a key feature of the development, and a new public realm surrounding the site will include new and wider footpaths and greening of the streets.
The development is being funded by Santander and is the second scheme Worthington Properties has brought forward in partnership with The University of Liverpool. The first, Dover Court on Great Newton Street, will deliver a further 267 student rooms and will be completed in September.
