In total, 860,000 sq ft of development Grade A office accommodation, over 200,000 sq ft of residential units, 2,500 car parking spaces and more than 1.2 m sq ft of retail/leisure units are to be constructed, along with a 210-bedroom Holiday Inn Express hotel, constructed by John Sisk & Son.

Galliford Try West Midlands and South West were selected to deliver the 210,000 sq ft, 1 Centenary Square for HSBC, together with over £10m of innovative public realm, designed by acclaimed landscape architectural practice Gillespies, comprising over 50 per cent soft landscaping to create an ‘urban meadow’ running from the north to the south of the site.
