The grandscale scheme is earmarked for the corner of Beaver Road and Victoria Road - a site which once housed HomePlus Furniture.
Being led by the council's property investment arm, A Better Choice for Property Ltd, the 207-apartment complex would consist of two blocks connected by a central courtyard with nine townhouses attached.
