The redevelopment of Southgate was a mixed-use regeneration project that provides retail, residential and leisure areas. They are linked by classic Georgian-style open streets, with public spaces including a large central square. The development has brought just under half a million sq ft of retail and leisure space to Bath, all set within an impressive new streetscape and public squares. There are also 860 new underground parking spaces created. This mixed-use scheme also provides a state-of-the-art transport interchange and works to the listed Bath Spa railway station.
Buro Four won via competition the role of Project Manager to take the development through review including establishing structure and focus across a wide range of stakeholders and aspects for this complex mixed use regeneration scheme. All this whilst ensuring that disruption was minimised and that the city remained accessible to all. We were involved during feasibility, so helped to make the scheme viable, achieving significant reductions on both programme and development budget.
