Student Castle has bought the dilapidated Pro-Cathedral and adjacent Upper School building in Clifton, Bristol, from Urban Creation for £9m.
The developer plans to turn the Grade II-listed property into a 233-bed student block. It will be the UK’s first conversion of a cathedral to residential units.
Morgan 2 Hayman has been appointed to design the £15m project, which is scheduled to complete in September 2013.
Savills advised Student Castle; Knight Frank acted for Urban Creation.
