Construction begins on next phase of £15m Fruit Market scheme

The Fruit Market housing development in Sneinton Market, Nottingham has entered phases 2 and 3 of construction.

Phases 2 and 3 are being delivered by igloo Regeneration and will see the construction of 26 new homes clustered around two large communal gardens.

The move follows the successful completion of Phase 1 which saw the sustainable, garden neighbourhood of 13 homes secure a national Housing Design Award for ‘Building for a Healthy Life’.

Phases 2 and 3 will continue the scheme’s sustainable ethos, says igloo. The development is completely gas-free, utilising air source heat pumps, underfloor heating and high levels of thermal insulation to make the scheme one of the most energy-efficient and future proofed in the city.

Sam Veal, director at igloo Regeneration, said: “This milestone marks a key moment for the Fruit Market development and its positive impact on the wider Nottingham city centre, as we move forward with the delivery of much needed, high-quality homes for the community.
“With Phases 2 and 3, we remain dedicated to providing sustainable, community-focused homes that are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of residents, creating spaces where people can truly feel at home.

“The continued growth of the Fruit Market community will ensure that these new homes will make a lasting positive impact on this vibrant area and the wider city centre, and we look forward to seeing the full development come to life.”

Construction is now underway on the scheme, with completion scheduled for the summer of 2026.
