Plans to tear down Exeter's Harlequins shopping centre to replace it with a new landmark development have been submitted.
Images show the sheer scale of the development which will incorporate a co-living area and hotel,
The plans set out two huge blocks across the length of the development land with a courtyard in the middle.
It would comprise of nearly 300 co-living bed spaces and 114 bed spaces in its hotel.
The plans for the Paul Street site also include space for a bar and restaurant.
Originally, plans were put in to build exclusively student accommodation with 315 units in one block and 23 studios in the second block, along with an ‘affordable’ hotel with 140 rooms and a bar and restaurant.
But following a public consultation in June the plans for the scheme were altered and student accommodation was dropped.
Curlew has now proposed a professionally managed urban scheme called “co-living” alongside the hotel.
