Posted on 29. Jul, 2010 by editor in Business News
Award winning developer, Blueprint, has revealed images of its next potential development in the St George’s area of Leicester city centre.
The computer generated images (CGIs) show two possible options being explored for the land owned by Blueprint adjacent to Phoenix Square. Option one depicts a 50,000sq ft head quarters office scheme to suit a professional services or design practice such as solicitor or architects. Option two (pictured) outlines a 4 star boutique hotel scheme with up to 150 bedrooms, a first floor restaurant and meeting room facilities.
Blueprint’s Development Director responsible for the project, Peter Connolly, said: “The success of Phoenix Square, which opened in November 2009 and was 50% occupied within the first three months, has been encouraging. It has given us added confidence in the St George’s Cultural Quarter and brought forward our plans for further investment.
“The images show potential development plans for the area and we are keen to hear from prospective occupiers to see how we can work together to bring the development forward. We are also working closely with Prospect Leicestershire and Leicester City Council’s cultural team on the masterplan for the area and this type of development fits in well.”
The land runs along side the Nicholls Street and St George’s Way and faces Phoenix Square’s café bar. It is the intention to link the two developments through an extended outdoor seating area and pedestrian access.
