£50m mixed-use development for Coventry
Coventry's former Royal Mail Sorting Centre is to be transformed as part of a major £50m mixed-use development led by Barberry Developments.
The group is working with Coventry City Council (CCC) on the plans, which also includes adjoining properties and will cover a total area of 3.5 acres (1.4 hectares). A 20,000sq ft (1,858sq m) leisure facility with swimming pool is being proposed as part of the development, along with a supermarket; non-food retail units; and landscaping.
Barberry Developments director Henry Bellfield said: "Following the closure of the Royal Mail Sorting Office this part of the city centre is in desperate need of new investment and redevelopment. "The plans we are currently working on are hugely exciting and will create hundreds of jobs for local people."
CCC cabinet member for city development Linda Bigham added: "We are looking forward to seeing Barberry's plans for this mixed-use development, which should really help to improve the connection between the city centre and the canal basin."
