Full house approaching as Lace Market Square nears completion

As Lace Market Square nears completion this spring it appears that it has certainly made its impact on Nottingham’s residential scene and over 70% of the apartments have been sold off plan.

The past few months there has seen a considerable amount of interest in the exclusive 46 apartment development in Nottingham’s fashionable Lace Market district. Lace Market Square has really bucked the trend as there is usually a festive slow down in house buying over Christmas. All one bed, one bathroom apartments have now been sold. Apartments at Lace Market Square were in fact the first sales of 2007 for Savills and their last of 2006.

The £10m Lace Market Square scheme has enticed more and more people eager to engage in the sophistication of chic city living and is perfectly positioned for those wanting to absorb the ambience of the city. The development nestles in the heart of the Lace Market conservation area between the city centre’s Bridlesmith Gate fashion district.

Guaranteed to enhance the city’s dynamic cultural and social life, the development not only neighbours sophisticated eateries and top fashion retailers but also has its own 11,000 sq ft landscaped central piazza, a public square with a true European feel to it ideal for al fresco dining or just relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.

The next stage of development will see a huge transformation, as award winning design duo Wolfgang & Heron start work on the square a unique focal point for the city. Box and beech green hedging and granite terraces will be complemented by oak seating and metal sculptural trees. At the root of the square’s design is the idea of 'landscape art'. The square has been designed to enfold art and landscape architecture together. So that it is not a square with additional art tagged on. The best way to describe this is 'landscape art'.

But for those still contemplating a life of luxury, a show apartment will soon be open to potential buyers. Designed by Nottingham based interior designer Louise Hunt, design inspiration, from decoration to furniture ideas, will provide a stylish insight into contemporary city living. Louise is taking the piazza as the central point for her design inspiration and will be utilising some original artwork by designer Fiona Heron for the apartment.

Jane Peake, Sales Manager at Savill’s New Homes Department comments: “The consistent influx of interest is a true sign of success for the Lace Market Square development. The innovative design, landscape art and vibrant location of Lace Market Square has really made it stand out on its own and offer something truly unique to the city.”

Prices range from £155,000 for a two-bed, one-bathroom apartment, to £185,000 - £190,000 for a two-bed, two-bathroom apartment, all with secure underground parking.
