Developer Dominvs Group has submitted proposals to replace a five-storey 1980s office building in the City of London with a 21-storey student housing development, designed by 3XN Architects in conjunction with executive architect TP Bennett.

The scheme would see the demolition of Chapman Taylor’s Friary Court building near Fenchurch Street Station, completed in 1984, which has around 6,870sq m of office space as well as a bistro and wine bar.

Dominvs’ proposals would deliver 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. The proposals would be across Carlisle Avenue from Sheppard Robson’s recently approved Boundary House hotel.
