At the heart of Bolton's regeneration masterplan
The proposals for Crompton Place lie at the heart of Bolton Council’s £1.5bn masterplan – the scheme is the first key step in developing an exciting vision for a refreshed and revitalised Bolton town centre. The council acquired the well-located, but outdated, 26,000m² shopping centre in June 2018 from Santander Pension Fund, in order to begin the process of overhauling the town centre.
Designed by Chapman Taylor, Bolton Victoria Square is being brought forward by Bolton Regeneration Ltd, a partnership between Beijing Construction & Engineering Group International and Midia, which was named by Bolton Council as its development partner earlier this year.
A well-considered mix of uses, integrated with the wider streetscape
The mixed-use scheme for the site includes a 110-bedroom hotel, 150 homes, 7,400m² of office space, and a mixed-use retail, leisure, dining and events space (dubbed “Bolton Works”) alongside improved public realm. The scheme will be named “Bolton Victoria Square”.
The development will be seamlessly integrated into the wider streetscape and urban fabric to help reunite Bradshawgate with Victoria Square and improve the access and pedestrian flows within the town centre.
Economic and environmental sustainability
Great emphasis has been placed on long-term economic and environmental sustainability through the complementary mix of uses, choice of materials, soft landscaping, green roof terraces and rainwater collection, as well as a centralised energy centre, natural ventilation and solar collection.
