The plans, alongside intu’s proposed redevelopment of Broadmarsh, Nottingham Castle’s redevelopment and the Skills Hub scheme, will transform the southern end of the city centre into a top-class destination for retail, leisure and education. Collectively, they represent a £250m investment in the city.
