New 69-storey ‘Screw’ planned for Broadmarsh site

Very popular Nottingham developer 2FPUC Developments is putting forward a proposal for a new 69-storey building on the site of the Broadmarsh shopping centre.

Dubbed ‘The Screw’, the building will consist of six floors of retail and leisure and will include a state-of-the-art bowling alley, a 4-D cinema, a casino, an indoor roller-coaster and a niche tea room, along with 63 floors of mixed residential.

Due to the shape of the building, each apartment will have direct access to a private roof terrace, which will also have a 3-D geocoding address to allow for drone deliveries direct to balconies.

Rooftop parking will be available for electric vehicles only and it is also proposed to have several rooftop allotments where residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables.

2FPUC design director Mr DeLacey told TheBusinessDesk.com “It’s not a vanity project, it’s an expression of confidence.”

A first in the UK, deposits for the apartments can be paid for using Bitcoin. It is hoped this will bring affordability to a younger generation currently locked out of the property market by ever increasing house prices. Residential and commercial rents can also be negotiated in the cryptocurrency.

The existing cave network below will be utilised and made safe to allow residents to pass between the major parts of the city, including the castle, the railway station and the Market Square.

The project will be mainly grant funded by the EU.

2FPUC creative director, Mr. Quan, added “We cannot wait to get this thing erected.”
