Homes England acquires Broad Marsh site for regeneration in Nottingham

Homes England has officially acquired the Broad Marsh site from Nottingham City Council, marking a significant step towards the regeneration of Nottingham city center. The site, which has been largely derelict since the collapse of the intu shopping center in 2020, will be transformed into approximately 1,000 homes and up to 20,000 square meters of retail, office, and community spaces, projected to create around 2,000 full-time jobs. Eamonn Boylan, Chief Executive of Homes England, emphasized that the agency will work with the council and private sector developers to bring this vision to fruition. Nottingham City Council leader Neghat Khan expressed optimism about the plans and the long-awaited progress on the site. The project includes demolition and enabling works to prepare the area for development, with construction anticipated to begin in the near future. This initiative aligns with the council's vision to revitalize the area and respond to community desires for progress.
