PLANS ARE SET FOR THE FOREST, DERBY

Get ready, Derby! We are excited to unveil our latest project, Forester House, which aims to transform the heart of the city. We will breathe new life into the former Job Centre building by converting it into a vibrant residential hub. Our plans include creating 60 spacious 1-bedroom apartments and 13 comfortable 2-bedroom apartments, making this an important addition to a key city landmark.

A Vision for the Future

Transforming the old Job Centre into Forester House is not just about building new homes; it's about invigorating a crucial area of Derby. This development will enhance the urban landscape and provide residents with a stylish, contemporary place to call home. The project is designed to foster community growth and vibrancy.

The architecture of Forester House will integrate modern design elements while ensuring it fits well with its environment. This project will also prioritise sustainable living, setting a standard for innovation in Derby.

Spacious Living Options

One of the most appealing features of Forester House is its diverse living options. The development will include 60 spacious 1-bedroom apartments, perfect for young professionals and couples looking for stylish living.

Additionally, the 13 comfortable 2-bedroom apartments will be ideal for families or those seeking a little more space. Each apartment will boast modern amenities and chic finishes, ensuring that residents enjoy comfort and convenience.

The designs focus on maximising open areas and natural light, creating welcoming spaces that residents will love returning to each day. For instance, a 1-bedroom apartment will offer an open floor plan of approximately 700 square feet, making it both roomy and functional.

Community-Centric Development

Forester House is more than just individual residences; it emphasises fostering a community spirit. The development will feature shared amenities that encourage social interaction among residents.

Plans include a rooftop garden and lounge areas, which will not only enhance the living experience but also create opportunities for residents to relax and connect with one another. Statistics show that living in communities with shared spaces can boost social interaction by up to 50%, making these features particularly valuable.

The location of Forester House is perfect for those who want to be at the heart of activity. Residents will have easy access to local shops, restaurants, and public transport, ensuring that all essential services are conveniently close by.

Sustainability at the Core

Sustainability is crucial in today’s world, and The Forest aims to be an eco-friendly model. This project will adopt green building practices, reducing its environmental footprint while offering comfortable living for residents.

From energy-efficient appliances to the use of sustainable building materials, every element of the development will contribute to a greener lifestyle. For example, incorporating solar panels is projected to reduce energy costs for residents by 20%, making it not only Eco-conscious but economically smart as well.
