Following on from the successful £40m extension and conversion of the Equipoint building into 250 apartments, Urban Village Group has today received approval to deliver a further 105 apartments, commercial spaces and amenities.

The development relates to land on an existing car park to the rear of the site.

Featuring two ‘lozenge’ shaped new builds of 3-7 & 9 storeys, the builds have been designed to remain subservient to the original building, but still maintain its own style and identity.
