Town Quay

Nicolas James Group is very pleased to announce the final submission of plans for Town Quay in Southampton.

The plans will see an exciting new waterfront destination created, delivering a major economic boost to the city. This will include multiple restaurants, food halls, a large new marina, apartments, a new landmark hotel, bar, conference and spa facilities.

The hotel will be sit as part of NJG’s brand ‘The Nici’, a name recognisable to many on the South Coast due to the brand’s much awarded flaghip property, The Nici, Bournemouth.

If approved by the council, the new development will open up the prominent waterfront site, which has remained largely inaccessible to the public for a number of years. The plans, first announced early in 2023, have run consultations with local residents and stakeholders throughout the summer.

The scheme received 74 per cent support from the public, with the final plans further improved to create a more visionary design.

With approvals due to be determined later this year, with works then expected to begin 2025. The project is expected to cost in excess of £200 million, delivering a vast economic boost to the city as well as creating around 1,000 jobs upon completion.

The proposals will be funded by private equity and the sale of new apartments which will be built on reclaimed land on the far side of the marina.

The submitted scheme will secure significant community benefits for the city and the plans also include a contribution to Affordable Housing in the city and Key Worker Housing.
