Swindon Town Centre Regeneration Takes a Major Step Forward

The regeneration of Swindon town centre has taken a major step forward with the signing of a Development Agreement which will bring more than £200million pounds of private and public sector investment into the town centre, and deliver one of the largest regeneration projects in the South West.

Modus Properties has committed to deliver Regent Place, a £215 million development, comprising 32,500 sq metres of high quality retail, residential, leisure and car park space on the site of what is currently the Granville Street car park.

Given the current difficult economic climate this agreement reaffirms confidence in Swindon and will secure the long term economic future of Swindon, bringing thousands of new jobs and converting underused land into somewhere people can live, work and shop.

The regeneration project forms part of the wider regeneration of the town centre, which aims to deliver over one billion pounds of investment in six regeneration zones.
