Plans have been submitted to create a unique ‘cohesive’ use scheme, set to feature a 223-room hotel, extensive food and beverage space and a day spa.
The ambitious plans submitted to Nottingham City Council feature a stunning bar and busy forum for people to meet. It has been hailed as a ‘UK first’ which leads the way in terms of sustainability, innovation and engagement with nature and green space in a post-Covid world.
The proposal – which will create more than 550 jobs when completed – is the latest phase of The Island Quarter development and is believed to be the UK’s first cohesive-use development, incorporating multiple uses within the same flowing space, similar to Roppongi Hills in Tokyo.
Richard Watson, of developer Conygar, said: “It is an ambitious project – unmatched across the UK. The scheme will raise the profile of Nottingham, so we are working closely with our team of architects and designers to create a lasting legacy and community for Nottingham.”
The first glimpse of the proposals highlights such features as large archways, wide open spaces within the hotel areas and an atrium to create a light and airy atmosphere for residents and visitors.
