New pictures have provided a glimpse into a set of new council homes being built on the site of a former pub in Top Valley.
The final touches are being made to the 20 properties which have been built on behalf of Nottingham City Council.
A former pub - the Harvester - and a row of shops have been demolished as part of the £3m project in Knights Close.
Families on the council's waiting list are due to move into the new homes before Christmas.
Nick Murphy, chief executive for Nottingham City Homes (NCH), said: "We started planning this project several years ago, there were some shops here, there was an old pub site.
"It wasn't a good use of space, there was a very difficult topography, there was a big difference in the height of the site here.
"After a lot of design, working with the city council - because these are city council homes - after a lot of discussion we came up with the design that the council was very happy with, got planning permission for it and worked with Woodheads to develop these new homes here."
The 13 two-bed houses, five four-bed properties and two two-bed flats are built to high energy efficiency standards.
The development has been named after a local ward councillor, who died in 2017.
The new site is now called Alan Clark Grove and a naming celebration event is planned for next year with his wife and fellow councillor, Eunice Campbell-Clark.
Craig McLaughlin, project manager for Robert Woodhead Ltd, the contractor, said: "We started building in October 2019, we had demolished previously.
"It's massively important, there's a massive requirement for a lot of houses, thousands of houses required, in Nottingham.
"We have partnered with Nottingham City Homes for quite a few years now, we have just finished a development in June which was at Clifton Miners' Welfare in The Meadows."
Senior project manager Andy Cassells, 58, of Robert Woodhead, said: "It's ideally located within the city and there is the tram located a 15 minute walk from here.
"From an environmental point of view, you do not have to use your car. There's good public transport links."
He added: "It's been a challenging year, the teams have worked very hard, especially through the pandemic - work hasn't stopped which allowed us to achieve the end date as we agreed with the client to get residents into these new homes."
Councillor Linda Woodings, portfolio holder for planning and housing at the city council, said: “It's great to see how a site, which was no longer fit for purpose, has been transformed into quality new affordable council homes to rent for families who need them.
"Together with Nottingham City Homes and other partners, we’re developing a mix of properties across the city, from much-needed family housing to bungalows and flats, which meet the needs of local people in Nottingham."
Meanwhile, the main construction work is due to start in January to build 106 NCH properties on the old Eastglade School site, nearby.
