Armada Way North to get ready for redevelopment

Plans to deliver 10,000 homes in the city centre are moving at pace with work to make three large derelict sites development-ready now underway.

Last year Homes England acquired three parcels of land in the heart of the city centre – the former Good Companions in Mayflower Street, Congress Hall and Mayflower House – both of which overlook the new Armada Way public realm regeneration scheme.

From this week exploratory works and surveys will get underway to prepare the three blighted sites for demolition.

Steve Hughes, Chief Executive of the City Centre Company said: “This is huge. More people living in the city centre is good for all businesses

“We know people have been concerned about these sites – Mayflower House in particular – as their appearance undermines the transformed Armada Way. To know that these sites will be cleared ready for their new future is great news indeed.

“We understand all too well that progression on this scale involves upheaval and are more than happy to work side by side with the Council and Homes England to make sure all our businesses benefit from this exciting development."
