Former footwear HQ to step up as 470-bed student hub
The historic former Freeman, Hardy and Willis building on Rutland Street in Leicester is set to be transformed into 472 student bedrooms.
Accommodation provider True Student is behind the project, reimagining the iconic structure into a student living hub.
Dating back to 1876, the building once housed the headquarters of the footwear retailer.
It was damaged during the city’s World War II ‘Blitz night’, later became the International Hotel, and stood vacant for over a decade before being reimagined.
