First Phase of LRS Project - Coventry City Centre South to Begin

Preparatory work has started on the £450m Coventry City Centre South regeneration project.

The City Centre South development in Coventry aims to replace a number of old buildings. In their place new shops, restaurants, open public space and almost 1,000 homes will be built.

LRS are delighted to have provided Land Referencing Services for the project. Construction is scheduled to start in summer 2025.

Closures

The preparatory work includes fencing off the site and closing City Arcade from January 27th.

The landmark housing-led proposals are set to radically transform the centre around Coventry market, creating a pedestrian-friendly residential, shopping and leisure hub.

Phase 1 includes 991 homes as well as 8,000 sq m of commercial space, all set within 17,000 sq m of public open space.

Phase 2 will provide further commercial space and up to 584 homes.

Jim O'Boyle, the city councillor responsible for jobs, regeneration and climate change said it was "a really important step" and the rest of the city centre would remain "open for business".

The project will cover areas including the City Arcade, Bull Yard and Market Way, with Hertford House and Barracks multi-storey car park among the buildings set to go.

The first homes are expected to be completed at the beginning of 2027.

 

Jim O'Boyle, the city councillor responsible for jobs, regeneration and climate change said: 

“This is a really important step for City Centre South and it’s great that work will soon be starting on the ground. The new homes and shops will help to provide a new community in the city centre and this will help to ensure the area and the wider city is vibrant and busy. 

“In the meantime – the rest of the city centre and the market of course, are open for business.”
