The scheme would see the redevelopment of the former London Electricity Board Building on a 0.9-acre brownfield site on Cambridge Heath Road.
Designed by AHMM Architects, the scheme will include a mix of cluster and studio rooms. Proposals also include a range of amenities as well as ground-floor community and affordable retail spaces.
The site is located a short walk from Bethnal Green Underground station and Queen Mary University of London campus.
Alex Taylor, senior vice-president, development investment at Trammell Crow Company and head of Telford Living, said: “There is a well-evidenced need for dedicated student accommodation in this area of Tower Hamlets, which is particularly close to major universities and transport connections.
“Our plans for 520 high-quality PBSA units will directly address this demand while delivering a thoughtfully designed building that integrates positively with the surrounding area and brings wider regeneration benefits to the local community.”
Construction dates and costs have not been disclosed.
