Smithford Way Link
A city centre located, residential-led mixed use development opportunity.
This site encompasses a service yard behind a retail store on Corporation Street and behind the retail units on Smithford Way. Through the opportunity to acquire the retail store, a more strategic assessment has been carried out to provide an opportunity to create a formalised pedestrian link between Corporation Street and Smithford Way which separates people from the existing servicing road/area.
One conceptual option suggests a single development block situated between Smithford Way and Corporation Street, providing ground floor active retail/ food and beverage/leisure uses complimentary to the shopping area as well as supporting the night-time economy created from the nearby Belgrade Theatre and plaza, with residential dwellings over (incl. target 25% affordable housing), and creation of new/ enhanced public realm and dwell spaces.
