A LANDMARK city center building that was once home to George Best’s nightclub Oscars has been transformed into stylish apartments that are now available to rent.
Waldorf House on Cooper Street was originally built as the city’s masonic hall back in 1863.
But in later years it was to become a hotel and then in the 1970s the nightclub Oscars were co-owned by United legend Best. It went on in more recent years to become The Tiger Lounge club, which closed in 2017.
Now it has been developed as apartments - which have finally been unveiled after a spectacular multi-million-pound refurbishment. We had a peak around the city center development ahead of residents moving in over the coming weeks.
Due to the Grade II listing of the building, architects had to create painstaking new designs to allow the division of 14 apartments inside.
In the most dramatic room - the old masonic hall at the top of the building - new ‘floating’ staircases have been created so as not to touch the intricate coving on the ceilings and walls.
