Urban Creation, a leader in student housing developments, has announced the imminent construction of new luxury student accommodation at 71 Park Street in central Bristol. Located along the vibrant Park Street thoroughfare, known for its eclectic mix of shops, cafes, and lively nightlife, 71 Park Street will provide an ideal living environment for students.
71 Park Street holds deep history. Originally occupied by Pembroke Galleries, 71 Park Street and its adjoining Charlotte Street entrance were beloved fixtures in the community before falling victim to the devastation of the 1940 Blitz air raids in which the entire property was destroyed, along with numerous neighbouring buildings. For reasons unknown, only the ground floor shopfront was partially rebuilt post-war.
Official historical documents confirm 71 Park Street, known then as 71 Park Street & 18 Charlotte Street, once rose approximately 2 meters taller than it’s still-standing neighbour at number 69.
As the only non-reconstructed building along the post-Blitz upper stretch of Park Street which reshaped the area’s architecture, Urban Creation will be paying homage to its heritage by reviving its height as part of their rebuild.
Strategically positioned at the junction of Park Street and Charlotte Street, the new accommodations are conveniently located less than 150 meters from the renowned University of Bristol.
The existing property, formerly occupied by a fashion retail store, will be transformed into commercial space. Whilst the upper levels will be developed into modern student living spaces and common areas comprising of 17 apartments.
This prime location combined with the demand for high-quality student housing options, presents the perfect opportunity for a new development. With excellent transportation links for both Bristol University and UWE campuses nearby, 71 Park Street will provide amenities and community that students demand.
The property will undergo extensive building from the ground up, with all construction efforts currently well underway. Celebrating Bristol’s storied past, the revival of 71 Park Street signifies promise for future generations.
