Hi Folks, can anyone remember the developer who converted and sold the Oval apartments? If I remember correctly the first developer went bump and were bought out part way through.

Finally heard from the agent and its under offer. Will see what the new owners plans are, ta for your info folks.

Does anyone know the owner of the Theater Bar on Eastgate St? It currently up for sale and the agent does care to return calls or emails.

Anyone got a clue when work on site is likely to commence? Also does anyone know who owns the area of undeveloped land opposite behind the cinema?

Yes I would say I am. I give it 50/50 of coming off as we may need large infrastructure projects to keep things going with Brexit in the offing. Not holding my breath but fingers are crossed.

I'm not an advocate of HS2 over all, but if the gravy train does roll I hope it stops in town! A lot of money has been invested so far (studies, consultations, route planning, station master planning, capacity simulations, land purchases... list goes on) so would be a shame to see that wasted...

Its sad to see so much negativity on this thread, a fair bit of it based on ill informed assumptions. Having walked the site at the weekend its clear to see the potential of the development and need for regeneration. Provided the development is as sensitive to the environment as it realistically...

Now wouldn't that be something. I also walk past them every day and wonder if the old cinema, adjoining shops and the plot of land at the rear will be replaced by a new development in time. With the new cinema, park regeneration and potential HS2 station it could become a prime spot.

Hi Wormella, thanks for all the great info. I live on Friars Terrace so I'm quite interested in this development. I would urge people not to be put off by the new properties backing onto Tesco. The noise is minimal, far less than the train lines many other properties (inc new developments) back...
