Demolition has begun on Coventry’s landmark £450m City Centre South project, the city’s most ambitious redevelopment in decades and CIOB members are invited to a tour and presentation.
Led by The Hill Group, the scheme will transform outdated post-war buildings into a vibrant, sustainable quarter.
The first phase prioritises 200 affordable homes, reflecting Coventry City Council and West Midlands Combined Authority’s vision for an inclusive city centre. Located just five minutes from Coventry Railway Station, the development will deliver 991 homes, 8,000 sqm of commercial space, and 17,000 sqm of public open space, designed by Allies and Morrison.
Phase one includes demolition of major structures such as the former Argos and Barracks car park, alongside careful relocation of public art. The project blends heritage with modern, pedestrian-friendly design, placing future residents at the heart of Coventry’s cultural and retail districts.
This site visit will include a tour of the ongoing demolition and an overview of future works and will include the careful removal and relocation of several significant pieces of Coventry public art.
The site visit takes place on 17 February 10-11.30. Email [email protected] to register.
