Project Detail
Great Central Square, Leicester
Regeneration Project of the Year Award 2020-2021 Winner
Great Central Square is a £58 million regeneration scheme at the heart of Leicester that has been a catalyst for £200 million of wider development in the city.
Through a partnership between Leicester City Council, Charles Street Buildings and Morgan Sindall Construction, the team designed and constructed two hotels, a new 4,000 square metre office block, high quality public realm and a complete renovation of the old Great Central Station.
A new super crossing provides vital connectivity between the heart of Leicester city centre and the new Great Central Square development as a gateway to the city’s waterside regeneration area.
Project Overview
The objective was to take an area characterised by high levels of vacancy and dereliction dominated by busy roads with poor pedestrian linkages and transform it into an area of high-quality development – creating homes and commercial space, linked by new public realm.
The regeneration of this area created a commercial and residential neighbourhood linking the city centre and the waterside.
Challenges overcome included the hot 2018 summer, a redesign around a discovered Roman village and keeping the traffic flowing around the city the main carriageways were remodelled.
