Plans for Phase 1A of the Island Quarter development focusing on regenerating the canal basin have been revealed by Conygar.
Designed by Jestico + Whiles, the new 2,000m² waterfront pavilion, known as Canal Turn, celebrates the location's industrial heritage and will include two restaurants, a 500m² events space with panoramic views and a large rooftop terrace.

Richard Watson, director of Conygar Nottingham commented, "Conygar has been working closely with Jestico + Whiles and design teams to develop these plans, not only for the first phase but also for the wider site as well. The site will create a worldwide destination for Nottingham which will provide all year round interest and community facilities which can be used from dawn until dusk."
