PLYMOUTH’S ‘ghost’ block of student flats will finally open for the 2022/23 academic year after being bought in an £11 million deal.
The Crescent Point double towers, in Notte Street, were supposed to open in September 2018 but never got to welcome students due to long-running legal battles.
But after being bought by an unnamed buyer in a deal completed last month, the buildings will now open to students in September under the new name Saltwater Place.
Rooms are being advertised by the company Prestige Student Living for between £99 and £160 a week – but with a £150 cashback offer.
Describing Saltwater Place as ‘brand new, state of the art student accommodation’, the lettings company is advertising ‘contemporary’ studios and cluster apartments for four to six occupants, ‘for you to relax and unwind in’.
It is telling prospective student tenants that ‘with just a short walk to your favourite restaurant and bar, or even to the local park, you’re in for a treat if you choose to stay here during university’.
