'Masshouse Developments' is a joint venture between Nikal and The Royal Bank of Scotland, intent upon creating a new City Centre community.

With a budget of some £330m, this development will deliver a total of 1.1m / sq. ft. of space, in seven landmark buildings rising from 8 to 18 storeys, consisting of 500,00 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation, 550 high spec apartments; ground floor retail, leisure and licensed outlets and 800 parking spaces.

The first residential phase of 173 units has been built and sold and the second phase of 167 units is underway. 250,000 sq ft of magistrates courts is expected to commence shortly and a further 170,000 sq ft of office space is currently in a detailed stage.

Furthermore, two significant public piazzas practically extend the core of the city, providing an exciting gateway to Eastside. Construction began in January 2005. Masshouse is an excellent example of progress through partnership; an holistic approach to regeneration, turning aspirations into reality.
