A big boost for Nottinghams largest local, independent bus operator:

##Nottingham’s NCT buses to get new fleet of 53 biogas-powered double-deckers

The £4.4 million government grant is on top of NCTs £12.4million investment into these buses.

[Quote]Nottingham City Transport (NCT), has been given the £4.4m grant from government’s OLEV low emission bus scheme to add 53 gas buses to its fleet.

They will be on the roads around the city in summer 2017 and are designed to give a quieter, smoother ride while reducing emissions.

NCT estimates they will save 23,204,856kg of carbon being pumped into the city’s atmosphere over the lifetime of the vehicles, compared with conventional diesel buses.[/quote]

#NOTTINGHAM | Skills Hub | 323,000 Sqft

Use - Education

Cost - £70million

Space - 323,000Sqft / 30,000 Sqm

Developer - Nottingham City Council + NCN/Central College Partnership

Architects - CPMG

Expected Completion - 2019

I have discovered some new drawings/renders taken from a birds eye view from the landscape architect, Influence, who are working in partnership with CPMG to deliver this project.

The new planned Skills Hub will house 4,000 students at anyone time, with more than 20,000 students to enrol every year, meaning amenities are required to make use of such a thriving space. With this in mind, the plans below may ease peoples opinions due to the sensitivity of such a location fronting the historic Lace Market cliff. There will be a large open space at the base of the rocks, which will have a new lighting scheme as well as further lighting on The Contemporary and lighting modules dotted around the campus, integrating with the new tram stop and bridge, and the further Broadmarsh/Collin Street redevelopment. Retail units will front the new square to help add to the destination at hand with a water feature to mark pedestrianised pathway from the railways side entrance.

As well as this, judging by one of the drawings, compared with the sneak peak render a few months back (as revealed at MIPIM) it appears that the ‘tower’ element will sit above a low-rise podium, paving the way for unobstructed views of the Unitarian Church. The setting and positioning of the college and its massing means that there will also be unobstructed views of the cliff and Lace Market when viewed from Collin Street also.

It is also noted there there will be a tram stop here, providing a new transport hub combined with the future renovated Broadmarsh bus station for the college, lace market, Broadmarsh and castle area.

#NOTTINGHAM | Eastside

Space - 38 Acres

Use - Mixed Use

Developer - Lavignac Securities Ltd

#Lavignac Securities acquires 38 acre Eastside site

Lavignac Securities have acquired the former Boots Island side, also known as Eastside, which is thought to have been negotiated with Nottingham City Council via a Compulsory Purchase Order. The previous owners of the site showed no signs of development since gaining planning consent back in 2008 to develop 3million Sqft of mixed use space.

Plans are currently being drawn up which are expected to be revealed and put forward to the council early next year, with development to start towards the back end of 2017.

At least 700,000Sqft of signature Grade A office space for large businesses with additional high quality offices for smaller industries are planned to create a varied working environment. Previous plans included 500-650 apartments, however it is yet to be known as to whether that number is to increase or decrease with the new plans. Retail and student accommodation will also be included. As quoted by the developer: ‘You make it look like Chicago or Wall Street, it is soulless, we want there to be a real mix.’

A large open space park in the centre of the development will be created possibly extending the current canal following on from previous plans.

With confirmation that HS2 is to come to Nottingham just a few miles out from the city centre, as well as the addition of new and upcoming tram lines, Nottingham has received an overwhelming rush of companies searching for office space in city centre. Despite the recent announcement, Lavignac Securities have also received a large influx of interest.

With the inclusion of Eastside, at least 950,000Sqft of office space has been confirmed to be in the pipeline for a late 2017 / early 2018 start within the past month. The new owners of Unity Square have yet to reveal any further plans, however with an additional 410,000Sqft of office space expected there, by 2020, Nottingham should expect an additional 1.5million Sqft of new build Grade A office space.

#NOTTINGHAM | Bridgford House | 10 FLOORS

Floors - 10

Cost - £22million

Space - 94 residential units

Use - Residential

Developer - Monk Estates + Harpin Ltd

Expected Completion - 2018

Bridgford House has been purchased by Monk Estates partnering with Harpin Ltd for £7million to convert and redevelop the former council office site.

At the heart of stadium central, flanked by 3 arenas, Bridgford House will under go a £15million transformation. Converting the tower into 96 luxury apartments, as stated by the developer whilst aiming to provide a ‘gateway’ building as it fronts the iconic Trent Bridge in a media focused area.

Many of the tenants occupying the restaurants and bars at ground level will remain, whilst encouraging further upmarket eateries to take up space. Plans are expected to be put forward to the council this coming summer, with work currently planned to begin towards the end of the year for a mid 2018 finish.

Monk Estates currently hold a reputable track record in Nottingham, with further proposals planned and expected around the city. They are now expanding into the riverside area which is currently thriving with activity by developers all around. A bold statement will be made for both the developer and the city should the transformation of the tower become a success.
