Description | The project involves demolishing the Portswood Centre shopping centre in Southampton and replacing it with five and six-storey blocks providing 508 student bedspaces. Retail units will be included on the ground floor, but the overall customer floorspace will be about a third less than the existing offer. The redevelopment was planned to start in early 2026 with accommodation opening in 2028, but has been delayed due to wider economic challenges. |
