Plymouth City Council sold the former administrative centre to Urban Splash in 2016 for a reported £1.
The redevelopment, partly paid for with a £10.5m Future High Streets grant from the government, is expected to be completed by 2025.
The aim of the Future High Streets Fund, external is to "renew and reshape town centres" in a way that "drives growth, improves xperience and ensures future sustainability".
Adam Willetts of Urban Splash called it an "ambitious and complex project" which would bring "more living space into the city centre along with more exciting and creative commercial and events space".
Urban Splash was also behind the restoration of the former Royal Navy supplies hub, the Royal William Yard.
