A proposed student accommodation development in the Baltic Triangle could be extended with apartments, shops, galleries and offices, after new plans were submitted.

PHD1 Construction Limited has already secured approval for an 11-storey, 117-room student block on land between Norfolk Street and Brick Street and wants to expand the development with 125 studio and one-bedroom apartments.

The plan will cover two phases; one will add the homes, commercial workshops and gallery spaces to the site of Liver Grease Oil and Chemical Company, while the second phase includes 72 student beds with café, retail and gallery space at the current site occupied by City Sheds. The new plans also include a space for projections to be beamed on to the side of the building.

The two new developments will bookend the original proposal, which was approved earlier in 2015, and all gallery spaces and workshops will be aimed at the city’s creative industries in the Baltic Triangle area.

The application for the two new phases of the development says it “proposes a progressive and refined scheme that responds to the industrial heritage of the surrounding area but looks forward to developing the area into one of the city’s most vibrant communities.”
