WATCH: Take walking tour around major housing redevelopment project at St John's College site

After being established in 1908, St John’ College was a key part of the city up until the summer of 2022 when it closed its doors after 114 years due to a significant decline in student numbers.

The grounds of the private boarding school was then primed by the Nicolas James Group, who acquired it in February 2023, and are currently developing the site to create over 200 new homes.

The project, which is converting a number of the existing buildings, will consist of 49 one-bed flats, 138 two-bed, 24 three bed and one four bed, as well as a total of 105 parking spaces, 375 cycle parking spaces and 38 short-stay cycle spaces.

The major housing project is anticipated to be complete by early 2026. For more information about the development, click here.
