The site's history ## A stalled office block, rebuilt as Nobel House. The site was taken through planning under applications 05/01878/F, 06/00359/F and 07/00319/F, submitted from 2005 by Picasso Investments (Redhill) Ltd with Chart Plan (2004) Ltd as planning agent. Cube Real Estate sold the site to Hollybrook Homes in May 2007, after which Hollybrook Residential Developments Ltd took the scheme through to construction. Building work stopped during the 2008 financial crisis and restarted in January 2010, following revisions to the scheme's Section 106 contribution programme. Nobel House topped out that June, and Reigate and Banstead Borough Council recorded completion in May 2011. The building's name honours Alfred Nobel, whose explosives works operated in the Redhill area during the nineteenth century. Raven Housing Trust acquired 40 of the development's 126 apartments as affordable homes in 2011. ## 09 · The residential entrance on Queensway, its balconies dressed in orange timber-effect panels. ![Balcony elevation and 'Queensway' entrance signage at Nobel House, Redhill, framed by tree branches](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/queensway-house-redhill/queensway-house-redhill-balcony-elevation-entrance-signage-nobel-framed-fallback.jpg) Nobel House's Queensway entrance and residential balconies, dressed in orange timber-effect cladding panels, seen from street level. ## 10 · An elevated view of the corner block and shopfronts on Queensway. ![Elevated view of Nobel House's corner block and shopfronts on Queensway, with surrounding streets and Redhill rooftops beyond](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/queensway-house-redhill/queensway-house-redhill-elevated-nobel-corner-block-shopfronts-fallback.jpg) An elevated view of Nobel House's corner block above the shopfronts on Queensway, with the adjoining streets and rooftops of central Redhill beyond. ## Queensway House, rebuilt as Nobel House. 4 Queensway, Redhill, Surrey RH1 1TY - **Developer**: Hollybrook Residential Developments Ltd - **Housing association**: Raven Housing Trust - **Construction restarted**: January 2010 - **Building completed**: May 2011 Photography: Capital PCC ## Related projects - [South Essex College.
