Plans to transform a former bank in Mapperley into a restaurant, bar, apartments and a retail unit were approved by Gedling Borough Council earlier this year.
Almost three years after the closure of the bank was announced the diggers have moved in and started work.
Hillcrest Properties secured planning permission for a 4,000 sq ft restaurant and bar, four apartments, four offices and a 1,000 sq ft retail unit on the site at 31 Plains Road.

There has however been no announcement made to-date regarding an operator for the restaurant, as well as tenants for the accompanying first floor offices and ground floor retail space.
After planning permission was granted, Sunny Landa, director at Landa Associates who are leading the marketing, said: “This scheme is yet to hit the market, but we are already being inundated with interest from major operators.
“Demand for these sorts of properties located in affluent areas is at an all-time high.
“We are confident that the prestigious location, coupled with the ambitious plans our client has for the development, will stimulate economic growth and job creation.”
