Height - 20m / 66ft

Floors - 7

Space - 49 residential units

Use - Student / Residential + Retail

Architects - Allan Joyce Architects

Developer - Mr K Tang


A planning application has been submitted for the demolition and redevelopment of 100 - 104 Derby Road. The site is nestled between Derby Road and Wollaton Street.

The development will consist of ground floor retail units fronting Derby Road, 5 floors of student accommodation with a plant room up top. Due to the topography of the site, Wollaton Street will see an elevation of 6 storeys, as the retail elements will be beneath ground level at this end.

The design compliments its surroundings in a contemporary manor. A detailed brick facade with full floor to ceiling height windows framed in a metal casing will jut out above the street. The patterned sections next to some of the windows are to be 'honeycomb backlit brick' as described by the architect. The first 5 floors respect and follow the roof line of the neighbouring buildings whilst floors 6 and 7 set back, only to be visible from further afar and on the skyline.

This looks pretty good....I'd want to live there. Seems to have gone down the student route though.
The competition was for student accommodation with retail at ground floor. But I'd be very surprised if it actually happens (I know I was wrong about Bar Seven but this one was doubtful even at competition stage)

Why would they submit a planning application for the development? They have also hired Pulse Associates as the quantity surveyor of the proposal. Pulse were also hired by Redoak for the recent proposal across the road on Wollaton/Talbot Street.

Seems like a lot of effort, perhaps the competition gained interest and momentum resulting in the project actually being a possibility?
The developers name sounds like a noise a weapon would make...ktang, ktang

A development partner may have been found since the competition, but it seemed to me like a marketing exercise for the site at the time.

I'd be very happy if this gets built and actually looks like the images..
There is some scaffolding up on site at the moment. Not sure though it they are starting demolitions already
I've not been up Derby Road for a while - has there been any more progress on this one?
I thought someone had posted some pics somewhere on this, might have been in the general thread
I notice the perforated brick screens have been VE'd to recessed hit and miss panels.
