Nightingale Quarter is under way

Work on a £150 million development project by Bondholder Wavensmere Homes to create 800 new homes in the heart of Derby has begun.

James Dickens, Managing Director of Wavensmere Homes said: “We are incredibly proud that work has begun on the site and we are able to show residents and businesses surrounding the site that we have been able to follow through on our promise to start the process in developing the land, which has stood as a brownfield site for so many years."

John Forkin, Managing Director of Marketing Derby commented: “The Nightingale Quarter is a key asset in the centre of Derby. Cleared city sites of this size are rare. Seeing work commence shows the ambitions of the city to create a new urban village and fits with the masterplan to deliver 1,900 new homes.
