A proposed 15 storey purpose built managed student accommodation building comprising 274no. rooms over a ground floor 7,000ft2 commercial unit.

The proposal was amended and reduced to 12-storeys and subsequently approved in October 2014, although development did not commence.
The site was placed on the market by Lisney in March 2016 with offers invited over £1.25m. ES Little Vic Street Ltd acquired the site during 2016.
