New student accommodation proposals for Weston Halls and the Pendulum Hotel, Manchester 

At a strategic city centre location and within close walking distance to Manchester’s universities, iQ's proposals for Weston Halls and the Pendulum Hotel will deliver around 2,500 new, high-quality student bedrooms across a mix of studios and clusters. 

Manchester has one of the largest student populations in the UK and a continued supply of well located, purpose-built, and modern student accommodation is needed to support the city. 

The scheme will facilitate the continued growth of the city and its status as both a local and global choice for prospective students. 

On Tuesday 25th November, we held a public webinar where the project team talked through the scheme and answered your questions. A recording of the session can be found below.
