Clearing the way for Grade A offices
DEMOLITION WORK STARTS ON SITE OF FORMER CITY HOTEL
WORK to demolish a building opposite Nottingham Station has begun as part of plans to transform the site into new offices with a glass frontage.
A demolition excavator has started tearing down the buildings and the old structure is now largely rubble.
The site at 11-19 Station Street, where the new block will be built, was once home to the Granby Hotel and pub, as well as a nail salon, a tattoo parlour and a photography studio.
11-19 will be demolished as part of the overall plans, which were devised by city-based developer Bildurn.
Bildurn most recently finished its first project in Station Street, which now stands as the £24 million Vita student accommodation building.
Its director, Sean Atkins, told the Post: “Demolition has now commenced and is being undertaken by Total Reclaims Demolition.
“The site is being cleared ready for main construction to commence in June this year. Leasing has been agreed to enable the works to commence.
“The building works will complete later in 2022 ready for occupier fitout. The development will provide approximately 50,000 sqft of brand new Grade A office space, built to the BREEAM excellent standard.
“The building comprises the second phase of Bildurn’s Station Street development, the phase one Vita scheme having been completed last summer.”
The developer says the architecture will be “contemporary” in design and the building will feature secure basement parking and a cycle-storage area.
There will be four floors and the building will mark yet another drastic change to the city centre skyline.
The company’s other notable Nottingham projects include The Pod, office space in Lace Market Square, and the refurbishment of a Grade Ii-listed building in Bridlesmith Gate.
