Owl Group Helps Unlock Major Regeneration Opportunity at Nottingham War Rooms

Partnership-led regeneration to deliver 104 new homes and breathe new life into a historic Nottingham site

Owl Group is proud to be playing a key role in the transformation of the former Nottingham War Rooms site, helping to bring a long-vacant brownfield location back into productive use and deliver 104 much-needed new homes for the city.

The landmark regeneration project represents a significant investment in Nottingham’s future, transforming a complex and underutilised site into a new residential community that will provide high-quality homes while creating lasting benefits for the surrounding area.

The development demonstrates the power of partnership-led regeneration, with public and private sector organisations working together to unlock a challenging brownfield site and create positive change for local people.

Working alongside valued partners including the East Midlands Combined County Authority, Nottingham City Council and emh group, the scheme will contribute towards addressing local housing needs while supporting wider ambitions for economic growth, investment and community renewal across the city.

Delivering More Than New Homes

The Nottingham War Rooms project is about more than housing delivery. It represents an opportunity to revitalise a historically significant site, improve the local environment and create a place where people can put down roots and build their futures.

As cities across the UK continue to face increasing demand for new homes, the regeneration of brownfield land remains a vital part of creating sustainable communities while making the best use of existing sites and infrastructure.

By bringing this site back into use, the project will not only provide new homes for individuals and families but also help support the long-term regeneration of the wider area.

A Collaborative Approach

Projects of this scale and complexity can only be achieved through strong partnerships and a shared commitment to delivering positive outcomes.

Owl Group would like to thank Mayor of the East Midlands Claire Ward, the East Midlands Combined County Authority, Nottingham City Council and emh group for their continued support and collaboration throughout the development process.

The collective ambition of all partners involved has helped move the project forward and demonstrates what can be achieved when organisations work together towards a common goal.

Creating Lasting Communities

For Owl Group, the Nottingham War Rooms development reflects a wider commitment to creating places that make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.

Mike Kelly, Managing Director – East Midlands at Owl Group, said:

“Nottingham War Rooms is a fantastic example of how partnership-led regeneration can unlock complex brownfield sites and create meaningful new communities. We’re very proud that Owl is able to play a part in a scheme that will deliver high-quality new homes for Nottingham, while breathing new life into the local area.

Projects like this are only possible through collaboration, and this is a great example of organisations working together with a shared ambition to make a long-lasting and positive difference.”

As construction progresses, Owl Group looks forward to continuing to work alongside its partners to deliver a development that will leave a positive legacy for Nottingham and provide new homes for generations to come.

The Nottingham War Rooms scheme stands as a strong example of how regeneration, partnership and shared ambition can come together to create lasting value for communities across the East Midlands.
