£100m Wolverhampton revamp showcased in new images

A £100m investment is set to transform a former Sainsbury’s site and the historic St George’s Church in Wolverhampton.
Social impact developer Capital&Centric has revealed fresh designs for the new neighbourhood.
Residential street designs
Plans include retaining and repurposing parts of the old Sainsbury’s building to save embodied carbon, while St George’s Church will be placed at the heart of the community.
The church will be surrounded by public squares for pop-up cultural events, intimate courtyards, and social spaces designed to bring people together.
The development, which emerged from an international architectural competition with the City of Wolverhampton Council and RIBA, also features sustainable homes, green spaces, shops, cafés and community areas.
John Moffat, joint managing director at Capital&Centric said: “Holding an architectural competition meant we got the very best ideas for this standout site and since selecting the winner the team has been working up more detailed plans. These images start to give a flavour of the vision, where we’re taking unloved buildings and repurposing them to create a vibrant neighbourhood right in the centre of Wolverhampton. The beautiful Grade II listed church will become the hub, with spaces for the community to get together and hang out.”
