Bidding starts to build £80m Broadmarsh

Nottingham City Council has started the search for a builder to redevelop the Broadmarsh shopping centre in Nottingham.

The Council is leading the procurement as a one third stake holder in the shopping centre with retail developer Intu holding the majority interest.

The value of the redevelopment is around the £80m mark and will involve demolition and reshaping of the centre while some shops continue to trade.

Enabling works at the Broadmarsh are mooted to start early next year.

Martin Breeden, regional director of intu, said: “Our plans for intu Broadmarsh will build further on that progress, bringing new streetscapes, a new cinema and a wider retail and catering offer.

“We have been in the city for over 40 years with intu Victoria Centre and are fully committed to creating something special for Nottingham.”
