Redevelopment of former Experian offices gets green light

Plans to turn a Nottingham city centre office block formerly occupied by Experian into 180-room student accommodation scheme have been given the green light by City Council planners.

Study Inn will redevelop Lambert House, which was vacated by the information services giant at the end of September.

Study Inn, which manages more than 1,800 student rooms, bought the Talbot Street building back in February. Then, it said the scheme would be home to 300 rooms, but that has now been downgraded.

Study Inn was founded in Coventry in 2009 by hotel and construction specialists Edward Jefferson and Kieran Leahy.

In February, Jefferson said: “Lambert House is a landmark building in Nottingham and fits our model of being able to bring regeneration and economic vitality as well as the highest standard of accommodation. Having operated in Nottingham since 2012, we know the city well and this is an excellent addition to the portfolio.”
