Cooper BMW, Reading RG1 8BN

A detailed planning application has been approved a for a purpose-designed Build-to-Rent (“PRS*”) development of 315 apartments in a mix of studios, one, two and three bedroom flats.  The building will incorporate a variety of landscaped terraces; high-quality residents’ facilities; and cycle & car parking.  The design makes provision for the Council’s separate proposals for the new East Reading Mass Rapid Transport link to Thames Valley Park. Significant improvements will be made to both the immediate and the surrounding area.

The scheme, designed by acclaimed architects CallisonRTKL promises to deliver a true landmark building for Reading as well as much needed new housing.
