Rowlinson Construction has purchased the existing retail units and will be building the new apartments which will be rented by Peak Valley to the over 55's market.
John McCall architects will be designing the apartments which will comprise of a kitchen/dining room, a living room, a double bedroom and bathroom and an additional single bedroom or study. Car parking will also be provided.
Work on the new retail units will commence shortly with businesses opening in spring 2011. As soon as the new retail units are built, the old ones can be demolished and work should start on the new residential element of the scheme by March 2011.
