As MIPIM approaches the strategy for what Nottingham will be marketing to the world investment market is coming into focus.
Nottingham Southside
One of the up and coming locations in the City is Southside – an area centred on the Station. Nottingham City Council are to relocate to Loxley House and they are in good company with Capital One, Shoosmiths and the Inland Revenue all neighbours there already.
There are a number of schemes in the pipeline too – which will be really exciting once the Tram extension commences and connects fully with Nottingham Station.
Wilson Bowden have the Sentinel scheme to promote (100,000 sq ft), Peel Holdings have 200,000 sq ft at Unity Square, which includes offices, a hotel and retail / leisure space. Bildurn are creating a 200,000 sq ft scheme on Station Street. Southreef have 45,000 sq ft and Lace Market Properties have 55,000 sq ft at the Meadows Gateway.
Altogether there will be over 1m sq ft of high quality, well located business space on stream. This really is a great location – and will regenerate this side of the City. It is well serviced by the road infrastructure, has the station at its heart and has Nottingham Canal running through it. Nottingham Regeneration Limited – of which I am a Director, are central to the promotion push. It is one of the three areas which forms the platform for regeneration focus in Nottingham.
MIPIM will be providing the platform to win new investors and possibly occupiers for this stock. “Team Nottingham” are fired up with enthusiasm for the schemes – some of which are architecturally great!
Invest in Nottingham will be blogging from the show – there is a link on my blog – in the right hand bar! With just over four weeks to go, there is considerable interest already.
