Caddick lands £20m Nottingham rehab centre
Delamere Health has named the contractor as its preferred bidder for the addiction treatment facility, on the site of a former fire & rescue headquarters in Bestwood.
Entering into a pre-construction services agreement, Caddick will deliver a preliminary package of works to make way for the new residential addiction treatment clinic, marking the largest investment of its kind in the UK.
Caddick’s initial work on site will include the demolition of Nottingham Fire & Rescue’s former HQ, which is scheduled to begin before Christmas. This will be replaced with a new-build clinic comprising 32 residential rooms with supporting treatment spaces.
Designed by architect Anderson Orr, the clinic will offer premium facilities, including a wellness suite, fully equipped gym, steam room and sauna, a meditation area and individual and group therapy rooms.
Once in the full contract phase, the project will add to Caddick’s growing project portfolio in the Midlands, which also includes a range of high rise residential, industrial and commercial developments across the region.
Ray O’Sullivan, regional managing director of Caddick Construction Midlands, said: “As preferred bidder for Delamere Health’s new development in Bestwood, we are working closely with our client to build a cost and build programme that will deliver on their ambitions for the largest investment in an addiction rehabilitation clinic in the UK.
“Key to this is understanding the high level of care and rehabilitation the clinic will offer. We look forward to the coming months, and moving towards a full contract early next year.”
Martin Preston, founder and chief executive at Delamere Health, said: “The site’s development represents a huge investment and opportunity for the borough, and our ambition for what will become the flagship treatment facility in Europe. At Delamere, we have a clear vision – to provide exemplary care in first class facilities.
“Identifying the ideal location for our second site has been a rigorous process over several years, and we are excited to work with Caddick to create something the local community can be proud of.”
The new building’s layout will be stepped across the site’s natural levels, arranged around landscaped courtyards.
Principal and chief executive of Anderson Orr Neil Parry said: “The design responds to their vision for a safe and welcoming environment that supports recovery, blending contemporary clinical spaces with a warm, domestic character.”
