The construction of a state of the art housing development alongside the River Trent has restarted. The third phase of the Trent Basin project in Nottingham has officially restarted, with the final stage of homes expected to be completed by Spring 2023.
According to developers, Trent Basin plays a key role in the Nottingham Waterside regeneration area, stretching over 250 acres, making it one of the largest of its kind in Europe. There are currently 76 residential properties, as well as other local amenities such as a Future Makers Yard, Flo Skatepark and a soon to be announced community facility.
The third phase of the development will welcome a further 31 homes. Samantha Veal, chief executive of developer Blueprint, said: “Blueprint homes always place high-quality design and thermal, sustainable performance at the top of the list, and this has made Trent Basin a highly sought-out place to live within the region. People are becoming more mindful of what they want from their homes, and how environmentally friendly they should be."

Lindum construction manager, Tom Damarell, said he was pleased to be involved in bringing the project to completion. "The first stage of our work involved going through all the existing properties and surveying the work that had already been done. We needed to ensure all the homes met the client's specification, so we drew up an action plan, which involved reinstalling some parts of the buildings, assessing what materials were left behind and calculating what was still needed," Tom explains.
"It was important that we put quite a bit of time into establishing what had already been done so we could hit the ground running when we moved onto the site. We have now confirmed the subcontractor packages for the project, keeping on the existing electrical and mechanical contractors and appointing a local joinery business to the scheme, which is great news for the local economy."
"Trent Basin is a really important regeneration scheme for the East Midlands and as a regional contractor, we are really pleased to be involved in getting it over the finish line. Once complete, it will provide much-needed homes in a popular part of Nottingham."
