Developers Peveril Securities and Sladen Estates have lodged a planning application to bring the office space to Unity Square, the 1.14 hectare site in Queensbridge Road, opposite Nottingham Railways Station, in a move it says will bring thousands of jobs to the city.
The eagerly anticipated scheme will advance the £250m Southern Gateway regeneration project – creating a new business district.
The planning application includes two office buildings – the first being ten storeys and the second being 13 storeys high. The build will be in two phases with only an outline proposal for the second phase submitted to the Council.
Peveril Securities and Sladen Estates bought Unity Square in 2015 and demolished the derelict car park buildings last year. Development is likely to start early next year, with Bowmer & Kirkland landing the building contract.
Ralph Jones, managing director of Peveril Securities, said: “There is significant long-term investment in this area of the city. Nottingham Train Station was the catalyst and coming up is intu Broadmarsh’s forthcoming redevelopment along with other significant schemes expected over the next couple of years.
It is an exciting time for Nottingham with many significant schemes on the horizon and cranes expected on the Unity Square site in the next 12 months.”
