The regeneration of one of Wolverhampton’s key gateway sites has reached an important milestone, with the final 10 apartments at Nightingale House nearing completion as the Royal Quarter regeneration enters its final phase.
Located within the former Royal Hospital building, Nightingale House already provides 38 affordable well-being apartments, all fully occupied. The additional ground-floor homes will further support independent living for people aged 55 and over, helping to reduce loneliness through shared spaces, communal gardens and a dedicated well-being service.
The scheme has been sensitively delivered within a Grade II listed heritage building and is one of the first of its kind to combine historic preservation with low-emission technologies, including air source heat pumps.
Completion at Nightingale House coincides with strong progress on the final residential phase of the Royal Quarter, centred around the former SJ Dixon & Son building. This phase will deliver 63 new low-carbon homes for whg, alongside the transformation of Dixon House into 30 specialist flats for YMCA Black Country Group.
Tom Broadway, Managing Director for the West Midlands at Morro Partnerships, said:
“This milestone highlights the strength of our partnerships and our shared commitment to delivering sustainable, community-focused homes for Wolverhampton.”
Nightingale House is being delivered by whg in partnership with Morro Partnerships, Homes England and City of Wolverhampton Council, with support from YMCA Black Country Group, West Midlands Combined Authority and ASAN.
