Developer H2Ourban and real estate provider bloc, in partnership with The Canal River Trust worked to transform this Grade II listed former British Waterways warehouse in Nottingham into a new Build to Rent scheme.

Funded by Lloyds Living, part of Lloyds Banking Group, the new development is located on the canal side area at Castle Wharf, in the Canal Conservation Area. The six-storey former warehouse dates to 1919 and was originally built to help move goods along the Nottingham and Beeston Canal.

The building has been converted to comprise 95 Build to Rent units in a mix of 12 studios, 42 one-bedroom and 41 two-bedroom apartments, including a rooftop extension housing eight apartments. Ground floor amenity space for residents has also been included.

This redevelopment project drew on our specialism in managing Build to Rent projects through to successful completion while also benefitting from our expertise in dealing with sensitive Listed building conversions safeguarding heritage for future generations. 

The scheme has brought new life into a historic building in a prime waterside location, making it an exceptional place to live. 

Designed by Franklin Ellis Architects, the new Build to Rent scheme was constructed by Jessops Construction Limited and completed in 2025.
