The potentially game-changing Heart of the City development is well on its way. With a series of exciting venues including a mixed-use food hall, creative hub for indie businesses and plenty of new retail spots and modern workspaces in the works, it’s hoped that this project could change the face of the city centre for years to come.
As you can see in these latest images from Vox Multimedia, Leah’s Yard – previously a Victorian-era workshop – is beginning to take shape. Still keeping the rustic structure and traditional feel intact, the developers have created an innovative space for independent retailers to allow their imagination to run wild.
Also pictured is an updated look at Cambridge Street Collective. The building is expected to run more than 24 kitchens, serving up a diversity of cuisines. You can see the rooftop bar and balcony area, which hopes to provide the perfect spot for some al fresco drinking and dining.
The neighbouring Bethel Chapel – formerly a Methodist church dating back to the 1800s – is set to become a live performance venue that doubles up as a café home for music, comedy and additional live performances, for night time owls and even a café for the daytime crowd.
So when will these state-of-the-art developments be completed? Word on the street is this summer, with phased openings throughout.
