The Birmingham Alliance will provide Birmingham with one of Europe’s largest regional shopping centres, right in the heart of the city. The Alliance, an initiative between three of the largest developers in the country, all with extensive experience of urban regeneration schemes, will facilitate an £800m investment in Birmingham. This will regenerate 40 acres of the city centre within the next decade. Planning permission is in place for the new scheme, which will be a short distance from existing prime retail areas. The development will be well serviced by all forms of public transport, as well as providing parking space for 3,200 cars.

The private-public partnership between Legal & General and Bracknell Town Council will manage the £500m regeneration of the town’s centre. The proposals, which are awaiting the outcome of consultation with local residents, provide for approximately 102,000m2 of retail and leisure facilities, 200 residential units and office accommodation. This development is expected to set the standard for town centre regeneration schemes to come because of the way it integrates the business and community sectors. It will also facilitate great improvements in the region’s transport infrastructure.

Eleven million people, with a combined spending power predicted to exceed a record 5.5bn pound, live within 60 minutes of the centre. The developers set a precedent in the industry by getting the country’s three best-known department stores to open very large branches within the centre, as well as over 300 leading fashion and lifestyle stores.

With an estimated potential market of 500,000 people, Overgate is proving attractive to leading UK retailers.
