Proposals have been submitted by Developer Dominvs Group to replace a five-storey 1980s office building in the City of London with a 21-storey student housing development.

The scheme, designed by 3XN Architects in conjunction with executive architect TP Bennett, would mean the Chapman Taylor’s Friary Court building near Fenchurch Street Station would be demolished.

The site, which was built in the 1980’s, has around 6,870sq m of office space as well as a bistro and wine bar, would be transformed into 780 student rooms and amenity space, along with around 3,100sq m of cultural and community space at ground-, first-, and second-floor level on the site at Crutched Friars.
