Description

Brook Street, Wrexham represents a compelling consented development opportunity in an established urban location with strong fundamentals for student accommodation.

The site benefits from detailed planning permission for a modern purpose-built student accommodation scheme arranged across two principal blocks. The approved development provides 21 cluster flats, containing a total of 107 en-suite bedrooms, supported by shared kitchen / living spaces, two retail units, undercroft car parking and landscaped amenity areas.

The design is contemporary and visually distinctive, with the scheme intended to create a strong architectural statement while remaining sympathetic to the scale, height and massing of the surrounding Brook Street and Lea Road street scene. The approved layout uses the site levels to deliver undercroft parking beneath the accommodation and provides courtyard space between the blocks for residents' amenity.

This is a strong opportunity for developers, student accommodation operators, property companies and investors seeking a consented project in a visible Wrexham location.

The Transport Statement also notes that the site is accessible by walking, cycling and public transport, with Wrexham Central Railway Station, Wrexham bus station and local bus stops all within walking distance.
