The second phase of a new Waterside Village in Loughborough is now complete and opening its doors to new residents.

Work has finished on the multimillion-pound apartment complex, called The Gate, which sits at the heart of Loughborough鈥檚 new residential complex, off Nottingham Road and a short walk to the town railway station.

The Gate was designed by Leicestershire based HSSP Architects for Solus Homes, and has 64 apartments, a resident鈥檚 gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, co-working space, a canal side garden and concierge services.

It forms part of the Waterside Village development, alongside its sister scheme The Mill, built inside a former Victorian hosiery mill which dates back to 1889, which has 76 one and two-bedroom luxury homes.

Richard Cooper, a director at RIBA Chartered Architects HSSP, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 fantastic to see this ambitious project come to fruition.

鈥淭he project began in the middle of a pandemic with all trades working incredibly hard to finish the project to a high standard despite the challenging circumstances.

鈥淭hrough our design, we鈥檝e been able to invoke the feeling of bygone times with careful selection of materials and details, and complemented these with stunning modern features that impeccably fuse the historic elements to the new.

鈥淚t truly is a unique development which we know will form a happy, healthy and inspiring place for people to live and work.鈥�

Work on the third and final phase of Waterside Village, The Wharf got underway this month and is expected to be completed in late 2023.

It will complete the multi-million pound development which has redeveloped and brought new life into Loughborough鈥檚 former industrial quarter.

Charnwood Borough Council identified the regeneration of Nottingham Road as key to improving the area as a whole.

The development also ties in with the council鈥檚 Riverside Regeneration Project linking the station to the town centre with a more attractive and sustainable travel corridor.
