Redevelopment of the former Leicester City Council site, New Walk, Leicester

Project Overview

The scheme replaced an old, tired building considered an eyesore on the Leicester skyline with two modern, attractive buildings which provide much needed office and residential space.

Improving the public open space in the area, the large new areas are user friendly and designed to attract lunchtime workers. Semi-mature trees were planted to echo the tree-lined pedestrian corridor of New Walk.

An underground car park sits below both buildings, with the undercroft designed to blend with the surrounding area and not detract from the buildings above.

The office building is being occupied by the wealth management firm Mattioli Woods. The whole development was entirely privately funded.
