Plans for the next phase of Nottingham’s major Island Quarter development have been given the go-ahead.
Phase 1B of the Island Quarter includes a mixed-use commercial development comprising an 18 storey, 223-room hotel, 247 build-to-rent apartments (86 two-bed apartments, 154 one-bed apartments and 7 studio apartments), co-working office space, retail uses, and new areas of permanent and temporary public realm.
Conygar are behind the proposals which involve a site to the north of The Great Northern Close, with the Low Level Station (Virgin Active) and Great Northern Warehouse Grade II listed buildings to the south.
Development of the ‘Canal Turn’ mixed commercial use building by the applicant is underway to the west of the site, which is adjacent to the Nottingham Canal and basin. The NHS Urgent Care Centre (Seaton House) and Equinox House offices are to the north. To the east is vacant land forming part of the larger Island Site.
