A 191-apartment development near Nottingham train station has been approved by the city council from Rainier Developments.
As it stands the site contains a two-storey 1970s office block known as Waterway House, which is set to be demolished to make room for fresh one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Will Blacker, land director at Rainier Developments, said: “Waterway House has an important role to play in supporting the city’s rising demand for homes, so I am delighted to see this development edging closer to reality having worked closely with the city council planning team.
“The site is set within an area of Victorian heritage that is still seen to this day in other nearby buildings which we wanted the new development to respect, and so the new-look Waterway House will reflect this.
“Developments of this type only serve to enhance Nottingham’s profile as a desirable destination to live and work – especially with the nearby links to rail, tram and bus – and I am looking forward to seeing the development come to life.”
While the development will encourage the use of public transport with nearby rail and tram connections, 26 car parking spaces will also be provided, including charging points for electric vehicles and bicycle storage.
The location falls within one of the city’s strategic regeneration areas under Nottingham City Council’s local plan – known as the Canal Quarter.
