Description

This exceptional development opportunity in Northampton's St Crispin's Conservation Area combines architectural heritage, development potential, and placemaking ambition. The site, formerly a hospital, features a 40-meter Clock Tower and handsome Administration Building, both approved for residential conversion. The masterplan, with 235 dwellings, includes heritage conversions, new-build apartments, and townhouses, blending modern living standards with traditional craftsmanship. Significant enabling works have already taken place, including excavations for underground parking, and the seller has paid 50% of the levy. The site offers a rare opportunity for an incoming developer to complete the vision, with approximately 207 units yet to be delivered, including prestigious Clock Tower apartments and major new apartment blocks. The location is desirable, with excellent connectivity, amenities, and educational facilities, making it a prime spot for residential development.
