Haslar Developments is launching Phase 2 of the Grade II-listed Royal Haslar Naval Hospital being transformed into a new 62-acre £200m GDV waterside village.
The scheme will provide over 550 converted and newly build residential units, including senior living homes, convenience retail, pub/restaurant and leisure facilities, over 50,000 sq ft of business premises and a new Royal Haslar heritage museum.
Royal Haslar was originally built as a waterside community to convalesce sick and wounded sailors and marines of the Royal Navy, operating for over 250 years from 1753 until 2007, caring for wounded from the Napoleonic wars, Boer War, World War I, World War II, and Falklands Campaign.
The scheme was designed by Theodore Jacobsen, architect of Dublin’s Trinity College, under the auspices of the Earl of Sandwich, First Lord of the Admiralty. The main hospital building, known as the Quadrangle, was started in 1745, opened in 1753 and completed in 1762.
Royal Haslar was decommissioned as a hospital on 30 March 2007 and the development consortium purchased the site from the Ministry of Defence in 2009. New designs and planning were finalised between 2010-2017 and following site and building works, the first phase of the new residential village was unveiled in 2021.
The first phase of homes for sale consisted of apartments, which are sold out, and independent living apartments.
The main Phase 2 launch in the summer of 2023 will consist of the unveiling of Trinity House in the principal quadrangle building, which is being converted and restored to provide 146 one and two-bedroom apartments. Some of these will also cater for senior living.
Other phases, at the entrance of Royal Haslar will be The Parkland Apartments, providing 140 for sale one and two bed apartments, and on the waterfront The Huxley Apartments providing over 120 homes.
Haslar Developments director Pat Power said: “Royal Haslar is one of Britain’s landmark Naval heritage sites, part of Britain’s historic fabric, now reborn as a luxury waterfront residential village.”
