Apartments unveiled at former Victorian wool warehouse

A development of almost 40 apartments which has involved the transformation of a former Victorian wool warehouse has been officially unveiled in the centre of Newark.The Textile Building on Victoria Street was brought forward by Jinny Yang, founder and managing director of JYD Group.Having stood empty for several years following earlier iterations as a wool warehouse, pine factory and bricklaying training facility, the site – which comprises four distinct buildings – has been transformed in plans developed by Wilson Architects. The on-site work was carried out by R Betts Property.Offering 39 studios and one-and two-bedroom apartments, The Textile Building also features co-working space and yoga studio for the residents, a lobby, a communal courtyard garden and electric vehicle charging points for cars and bikes.Yang said:”Newark is enjoying a significant level of regeneration and boasts fantastic transport links with the rest of the UK – London is just 75 minutes away.”When coupled with the fundamental shifts in how people now work, up and coming areas such as Newark take on a new appeal amongst those looking for luxury living at an affordable price point.”Hui Xu from Cura Investments, the JV partner on the development with JYD Group, added: “We have developed The Textile Building with the utmost attention to detail. The building enjoys a huge amount of natural light, which has allowed us to deliver these modern and unique living spaces, coupled with the facilities that young professionals and investors demand in a contemporary development of this kind.”Interest has already been incredibly strong with over 38 per cent of the units already reserved. With the development now fully complete, we anticipate that demand to increase and look forward to seeing residents really bring the site to life.”The interior design has been handled by bureau de change based in London, Amanda Campbell Interiors in Newark and Plot Design in Nottingham.
