UK: Developer Cosybox Living is set to open properties in Nottingham’s Lace Market and Alftreton Road.
The team behind the new brand consists of property entrepreneur Dominic Rice, interior designer Sandra Rice and Nigel Rhodes of DL Rhodes & Son, who is responsible for construction.
Heritage Mews will feature 12 apartments situated on High Pavement close to Nottingham Railway station and the Lace Market.
Alfreton Road will offer 35 one-bedroom apartments over two floors with a retail unit occupying the ground floor at street level. It is a two-minute walk from the Market Square, a five minute drive from the QMC and close to Nottingham Trent University.
Dominic Rice said: “We’re delighted to be launching our first Cosybox Living serviced apartment developments in Nottingham – a city chock-a-block with exciting new projects taking shape, from the Broadmarsh redevelopment to the new college to riverside living. Everywhere you look in Nottingham you can see investment and redesign, which is why we were attracted to the two sites we’ve selected. Both are in prime locations to entice a diverse range of visitors to the city without the formality of a hotel stay.”
Rhodes added: “The serviced apartment sector is growing at a faster pace than that of traditional hotels as corporate and leisure travellers demand more space and flexibility in their accommodation options. Our apartments are all about feeling home away from home, with all the personal touches you’d expect from a high-end luxury apartment. Our timeline is rapidly nearing completion for both projects and we’re very excited to start welcoming our first guests to Heritage Mews later this year. We’re expecting a real variety of visitors, from tourists and business people, to parents visiting their children at university, to overseas lecturers and doctors looking for a stylish and comfortable base for their stay. Our apartments will put Nottingham on the map for 21st century flexible living in a fast-paced, competitive and vibrant property market.”
