Nicholson Astoria was the Group's first venture into large scale extension and new construction.

​

It saw the original floor plate of the former Post Office doubled in size by way of a 2 storey rear extension and 2 storey roof extension.

​

This saw the creation of a first of its kind penthouse to the borough, 2 duplex penthouses in excess of 1,200sqft each with a balcony leading off the master bedroom and rooftop terrace garden on the 6th level. This represents the jewel in the crown.

​

The finished projects the creation of St Helens' signature residences:

10 x 1 bedroom apartments;

2 x 1 bedroom apartments with living area balcony;

2 x 1 bedroom apartments with living area and bedroom balconies;

2 x 2 bedroom penthouses with balconies;

2 x 2 bedroom duplex penthouses with balconies leading from master bedroom and 350sqft private rooftop terrace gardens

​

The once derelict building saw the ground floor reconfigured into a thriving shopping parade, fully occupied and home to bustling independent stores.
