NEW YORK: The six hundred and thirty-second entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
The building, on the corner of New Road and Garrick Street, was once the Regal Cinema and then the Gala Bingo hall. It is now home to NRG Gym.
A proposal, which was expected to be approved by councillors this week is likely to see it replaced by a six-storey block with homes, a gym, shop, office space and communal roof garden built on the first floor.
According to council documents, developer DaVinci Properties wants to transform the site and create 20 homes – 10 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom with six set aside for social housing.
