The developers behind Nottingham’s new HMRC building have revealed plans for another big block next door.
Peveril Securities and its joint venture partner Sladen Estates say the new building would be even taller than the Unity Square block it is building for the tax authority, and will be "complementary" to it.
The partnership is currently putting up a 10-storey block next to Nottingham Railway Station. It was designed by Manchester-based architects 5Plus, which has again been tasked with designing the taller building next door.
Nottingham City Council granted planning permission in January 2019 for two office buildings totalling up to 58,360 square-metres and the first images of what the second building will look like have now been unveiled.
Sladen Estates told Nottinghamshire Live the latest scheme will create up to 2,000 new jobs and will be worth an estimated £100 million once finished.
According to planning documents submitted on January 14, Peveril and Sladen will be looking to attract occupiers for the second building.
It is understood HMRC employees will be moving into the current block soon.
Rachel Wood, managing director at Sladen Estates, told Nottinghamshire Live: “This latest submission is an approval of reserved matters application, which follows the original grant of planning and therefore the scale and massing are as previously consented.
"The scheme will have the ability to create up to 2,000 new jobs and will be worth around £100m once built.
“We are pleased to continue to play a part in the ongoing transformation of Nottingham city centre and look forward to progressing this work in the future.”
