At NooKo, our mission goes beyond creating luxurious living spaces; it’s about crafting homes that enrich both the lives of our residents and the world we all share.
These awards are a reflection of our team’s dedication and innovation. We’re grateful for the support of our clients and partners as we continue to set new standards in sustainable and luxury living.
Our flagship, the restoration of the Royal Clarence on Cathedral Green, started on site in January 2026, and NooKo Storage opens beneath Paternoster House this winter.
2026
NooKo was named Developer of the Year at the Insider South West Property Awards 2026, announced at the Harbour Hotel in Bristol on 1 October. The category, sponsored by RED South West, shortlisted NooKo alongside Cubex, Stoford Developments with EDC, and StudioHIVE. The award recognises NooKo’s work bringing Exeter’s historic buildings back into use, from Paternoster House to the restoration now under way at the Royal Clarence.
2025
Paternoster House, the restoration of Exeter’s first department store into 29 apartments and commercial space, won Heritage Project of the Year at the Michelmores Property Awards 2025, which celebrate the best property and development work across the South West.
Bringing Paternoster House back to life has been a labour of love, balancing careful restoration with bold ideas for what city centre living can be. This award recognises the craftsmanship, care, and community vision behind every detail, from salvaged materials to solar panels.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this happen: our team, our contractors, our residents, and all the local legends who’ve supported the journey.

Terrific early ambition as an up-and-coming developer. Paternoster House restoration is strong in its own right and an intriguing signifier of what’s to come.
