Wavensmere Homes has successfully finished construction on the largest apartment building in the Nightingale Quarter scheme in Derby city centre. The £35m Fox House is the second stand-alone apartment building to complete at the £175m scheme this year, alongside 35 houses. In total, 395 new Nightingale Quarter homes have been handed over to purchasers during 2023.
Furthermore, 90% of the 209 apartments at Fox House were sold off-plan and are now being occupied. The ground floor of the building includes a co-working space, currently being fitted out as a communal facility for all 925 homes across the 18.5-acre site.
Additionally, The Fulton Partnership’s £1m Pepperpot restaurant will be accommodated in the second of two restored iconic Derby Royal Infirmary pepper pot buildings, opening in January 2024. Construction is also underway for Dalton House, which will contain 67 one- and two-bedroom apartments. Situated at the front of the development, work on a final residential building is set to begin in May 2024.
Craig Gee, construction director for Wavensmere Homes, stated, “Fox House is the largest of the eight apartment buildings at Nightingale Quarter, which we can proudly say is one of the UK’s most significant city centre regeneration projects.”
Gee also mentioned, “2024 will be equally exciting at Nightingale Quarter, as we look forward to the launch of the Pepperpot restaurant and the co-working space, the completion of Dalton House, and the start of construction work on the final phase.”
Moreover, the vast development has been sympathetically designed by Gould Singleton Architects to incorporate the restoration of the iconic Victorian ‘Pepper Pot’ buildings. Pepper Pot North will feature the new restaurant, while Pepper Pot South will be transformed into a residents’ gym and community meeting room, available to all those living in the apartments and houses.
