Work starts on 350-apartment Nottingham scheme

The first large build-to-rent project in Nottingham, designed by architects Maber and built by Winvic Construction for the Cassidy Group and Cording Real Estate Group is now on site.

The 350-apartment Saffron Court project being developed by the Cassidy Group and Cording Real Estate Group on the former Hicking Pentecost site near London Road.

Maber is providing architecture and landscape design services, and assisted the developer to secure planning consent for a revised scheme layout through a Section 73 agreement, which was granted by Nottingham City Council in January this year.

Associate director Tim Boxford, the project lead for Maber, said: “It’s exciting to see this project really kick-starting the area. We’ve combined contemporary design and materials with more traditional materials, and ensured the scale of the development is in keeping with the historic Hicking Pentecost warehouse.”

The scheme is due to complete in June next year.
