Student Accommodation Proposal Submitted
Newtownards-based McNeill Properties have submitted plans for new student accommodation next to the University of Ulster's new Belfast campus.
An existing building would be demolished to build the nine-storey, 200 bedroom accommodation block at the junction of York Street and Frederick Street.
The planning application describes the block as "fully managed" en-suite study bedrooms with communal kitchens serving five rooms.
The new accommodation block would serve the new £250m campus currently being built, and would be promoted as "car free" living.
The McNeill proposal is the second to be submitted for student accommodation at the UU campus.
