A housebuilder has unveiled \u00a31 million of landscaped public space at one of its residential developments in Derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wavensmere Homes has created a fully equipped children\u2019s play area, outdoor gymnasium and a fallow deer sculpture as the final phase of its \u00a3175 million Nightingale Quarter development concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
The life-size bronze deer by British wildlife sculptor Hamish Mackie was presented to the people of Derby as a gift from Wavensmere, following a tour of Derby Museums\u2019 Museum of Making with Elizabeth Fothergill, CBE, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James Dickens, managing director at Wavensmere Homes, said: \u201cThe Museum of Making has a fascinating section about the city\u2019s origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe name \u2018Derby\u2019 is believed to have Anglo-Saxon origins, deriving from the Old Norse word \u2018dj\u00far\u2019 meaning deer, and the Old English word \u2018b\u00fdr\u2019 denoting a settlement or village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDerby likely means deer settlement or village where deer roam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLearning this on a visit to the museum with Liz Fothergill, it felt fitting to commemorate the conclusion of Nightingale Quarter\u2019s six-year construction programme with a gift to the city and its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHamish Mackie is one of the country\u2019s most prominent wildlife sculptors, so to have his work as the centrepiece of the development is special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Wavensmere\u2019s 18.5-acre development also benefits from a running track around the circumference, residents\u2019 gym, spacious co-working facility, landscaped boulevard and a community allotment, which was created in conjunction with Down to Earth Derby, people living at Nightingale Quarter and local school children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The redevelopment of the former Derbyshire Royal Infirmary has delivered 925 new homes, including 125 houses, and eight apartment buildings containing a total of 800 homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The restoration of two \u2018pepperpot\u2019 buildings \u2013 which were the surviving relics from the 19th Century Florence Nightingale-designed hospital \u2013 gives the development prominence along London Road, across from the entrance to the Derbion shopping centre.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Councillor Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council, said: \u201cSeeing the Nightingale Quarter build complete is a significant milestone in the regeneration of Derby city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe outstanding outside amenity space that Wavensmere Homes has delivered provides something for all ages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final phase of Nightingale Quarter is the five-storey Walton House building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It comprises 103 one- and two-bedroom apartments for rent, which will be ready for residents to move into this month.<\/p>\n\n\n
