Willmott Dixon has been chosen to complete construction of a £40m development in central Nottingham that will provide 237 residential apartments as well as office, restaurant, leisure and retail facilities.

Previously known as Southreef, the development is already structural complete and partly occupied, but stalled in 2008 during the recession and property market downturn. However, it has a bright future under new ownership and a new brand, Nottingham One, with Willmott Dixon taking the £5 million contract to complete it by December 2013.

Working in collaboration with project management and engineer consultant, Arup, Willmott Dixon will complete 42 apartments, along with façade and internal works to a further 34 apartments, plus five commercial units to deliver Grade A office space adjacent to the City Council offices. It’s a huge boost for the city as Nottingham One is a pivotal part of the City’s Eastside master plan, being located on the edge of the Creative Quarter district and Southern Gateway business district.

Nick Heath, operations director at Willmott Dixon, said: "Nottingham One is a big part of the city’s growth plans, becoming a major focal point on one of the City’s main arterial routes."
