Deeley Construction is building 73 apartments for rent on the site of the former police station on Watnall Road in Hucknall.
The 拢15.9m town centre scheme is being constructed on behalf of affordable extra care housing provider Preferred Homes Ltd.
The affordable extra care housing scheme will regenerate the site of Hucknall鈥檚 derelict former police station, which has been demolished to make way for the new development.
Deeley is putting up a three-storey and a four-storey building, with a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.
Communal space will include a lounge, dining room, plant room, multi-purpose room and a bistro.
Watnall Road is the second development to be built by Deeley for Preferred Homes.
Four electric vehicle charging points are being installed for residents of the 73 apartments.
Preferred Homes property director Richard Frank said: 鈥淗ucknall marks our first development in the north midlands, and our second constructed by Deeley Construction.聽
鈥淲e know this will be an invaluable asset for the community, so it is fantastic to get spades in the ground.
鈥淒eeley understands our ambition when it comes to constructing high quality extra care housing that supports the health and wellbeing of vulnerable older people, and we look forward to bringing that vision to fruition at Watnall Road.鈥�
Deeley Construction operations director Chris Newman said: 鈥淭he development is only two-minutes from the historic market town centre, positioning it right at the heart of community in Hucknall. When completed it will see the regeneration of a brownfield site to provide high quality, comfortable and sustainable homes for residents.鈥�
