ISG Jackson awarded a circa GBP8m project by Turnstone Estates to build a mixed-use development in Chelmsford, Essex.

Occupying the site of the former Army and Navy pub on the edge of the town centre, the 1.4 acre plot will see the construction of an 81 bed Travelodge hotel, 12 residential apartments and approximately 26,000 sq ft of retail/restaurant space The steel frame structure has a maximum four-storey height at the prominent Parkway intersection, with a range of architectural finishes to the building's facade, including curtain walling, polished metal cladding and brickwork

The scheme is designed to be highly sustainable and features a rainwater harvesting system and incorporates a photo voltaic installation at roof level to generate electricity.

Retail units on the ground floor will vary in size from 500 sq ft to 10,000 sq ft in size, and popular restaurant chain, Frankie and Benny's, is already a confirmed tenant at the development.

The 12 apartments occupy the first and second floors of the new building and all come in two-bedroom configurations, with balconies and high specification finishes.

The apartments have been designed to be environmentally efficient and will conform to an EcoHomes 'Very Good' standard.

ISG Jackson will also create a large car park at the rear of the development, with the project scheduled for completion by early 2009.

Phillip Allerton, director of ISG Jackson's Living division, commented: "The striking design of this new mixed-use development in Chelmsford highlights the town's ambition to enhance the built environment at this busy intersection".

"Providing a range of new facilities and attracting key note leisure operators, the development is expected to prove a highly popular destination within Chelmsford.".
