A new era has dawned at a once derelict Nottingham site as the first venture of a £1 billion regeneration project opened its doors. Homes, offices, a hotel, bars, restaurants, entertainment and green spaces are part of a ten-year masterplan to transform the 36-acre Island Quarter.
The "city within a city" at the former Boots Island, between London Road and Manvers Street, is being developed by the Conygar Investment Company, working closely with Nottingham City Council. Newly-built Binks Yard launched today (Wednesday, September 14) at the site which is being hailed a new destination with "world-class" amenities.
The new bar and grill, headed up by MasterChef: The Professionals champion Laurence Henry, has canalside views and a plaza for outdoor entertainment unlike anything else in the county. He hailed it "really exciting" for Nottingham.
