There will be 29 new homes and two new retail units at the building
Work is underway in Newark to transform a former store into a number of apartments and retail units. The former Marks and Spencer store in the town centre is now unrecognisable, with scaffolding placed around the building as Stepnell, a construction company, works to create the new homes.
Whilst the work is taking place, there are barriers up around the building on Stodman Street and along the building on St Marks Lane. The building has had M&S signage removed, and will be home to 29 new homes when the project is complete. There will also be two new retail units at the building to help encourage new businesses open in Newark. Councillor Matthew Spoors, Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Economic Development at Newark and Sherwood District Council, previously said: “It’s exciting to see this project underway. We are showing that initiatives like this can help to develop town centres so that they that offer a vibrant experience which attracts different people at different times.
“Without the council’s intervention, this prominent building could have fallen into disrepair and become an eyesore. We’ve taken action into our own hands and are doing our best for Newark, turning a building that could have been abandoned into a thriving and active area where living, working and shopping come together.
“We actively asked many high street retailers to take on the store but none were interested in occupying the large 32,000sqft building. The fact is that they may already have a presence in nearby Nottingham and Lincoln and it's not viable for them to occupy such a big building in a town of Newark’s size and location. There is however demand for smaller units and we are confident that the site will be occupied as soon as renovations are complete.
