New Homes Construction to Begin at Derby’s Derelict Site in £75m Revamp

Derby: Big changes are coming to the city! A major redevelopment project is set to kick off soon. The Friar Gate Goods Yard site has been empty for about 50 years. But that’s all about to change.

Wavensmere Homes is leading the charge, and they’re excited to start construction in March. They’ve already begun some groundwork, so things are moving along. This project will bring 276 new homes to the area, which is fantastic news for local housing.

The old buildings on the site, like the Bonded Warehouse, will be transformed into a restaurant and a delicatessen. It’s great to see these historic structures getting a new lease on life. Plus, there will be new parks and play areas for everyone to enjoy.

Local MP Catherine Atkinson is thrilled about the project. She believes it will not only restore a piece of Derby’s history but also create jobs and boost the economy. It’s a win-win for the community!

So, keep an eye out for more updates as this exciting transformation unfolds. Derby is on the rise, and it’s going to be amazing to see how it all comes together!
