Summary:
- Citrus Group and Galliard Homes have submitted revised plans for the Prince Bishops Place shopping centre redevelopment, replacing the previously approved hotel with an expanded purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme of 504 units, up from 408.
- The 3.1-acre city centre site will see partial demolition removing around 175,000 sq ft of commercial floorspace, replaced by approximately 63,700 sq ft of new retail units focused at mall level, alongside the enlarged PBSA offering across upper floors.
- Landmark Properties, the largest PBSA developer in the US, has exchanged contracts to acquire the site, with Citrus and Galliard continuing as development partners; the scheme requires a two-year closure of the shopping centre but aims to better align the retail and leisure mix with current market demands.
