The Former Nurses Home Development marks a transformative step in urban regeneration for the Isle of Man, led by Manx Development Corporation. Built in 1953 to accommodate hospital nursing staff, this well-loved landmark has stood vacant for over five years. Now, through a thoughtful and sustainable redevelopment strategy, the project will breathe new life into the site creating high-quality rental homes and vibrant communal spaces.
As the Corporation’s first initiative, this development sets a new benchmark for repurposing key sites and disused buildings with a strong sustainability focus. Designed to provide a fully serviced turnkey rental experience, the homes are tailored for modern urban living allowing tenants to settle in seamlessly with all-inclusive bills and furniture provided.
