By GlobalData“This is a significant step toward the redevelopment of this important site for Nottingham and we will look to bring the scheme forward as soon as possible.”
Designed by architect Jestico + Whiles, the scheme is being built on location which was previously called Boots Island.
Nottingham City Council leader David Mellen said: “Not many places have the opportunity to create a new addition to their city like this, with 40 acres of land prime for redevelopment so close to the city centre.
“It will become a major asset to Nottingham, connecting nearby neighbourhoods to the city centre through an area long overdue for redevelopment.
“The plans to provide a mix of places to live, work and play will perfectly complement the other redevelopments across the southside area, and hopefully this first phase is a sign of the quality of the developments to come on site.”
The Island Quarter mixed-use development is said to be a vital part of the regeneration of Nottingham’s Southside.
