A major £6 million scheme to transform a city centre building in Coventry into new apartments has hit a new milestone.

EDG Property is renovating a former redundant dilapidated office building, on Ironmonger Row, into 37 apartments and a ground floor retail space.

Sirius will boast 29 one-bed apartments and eight two-bedroom duplex apartments on the top two floors, as well as an exclusive 'residents only' office space which will allow apartment owners to escape their own four walls while work from home.

Neil Edginton, managing director at EDG Property, said: "As well as creating a great living environment which is tailored to reflect the new ways of working, we've invested heavily into the architecture of the building so that it adds value to the surrounding area.

"We have been able to transform something which people would probably once have walked past without even noticing, to be a really strong architectural beacon on The Burges - a Coventry street which, itself, has undergone a huge transformation in recent times."

Sirius is the third building EDG has redeveloped in Coventry city centre in the last five years after The Co-Operative and Hawkins developments.

Councillor Jim O'Boyle, cabinet member for jobs, regeneration and climate change, performed a topping-out ceremony to mark the building's impending completion.
