Mace appointed for £350m town centre regeneration



Mace has been appointed to undertake the first phase of the Stevenage town centre regeneration programme.


The international consultancy and construction company secured the contract for the development for the western side of the town centre, where the council offices, the plaza, bus station and several car parks are currently located.

The development scheme is expected to bring around £350m of private investment into Stevenage.

The regeneration will deliver new shops, homes, a bespoke central venue for a library, exhibition space, health services and council offices to the town centre.

“This appointment makes large-scale regeneration of our town centre a reality,” said councillor Sharon Taylor, leader of Stevenage Borough Council.

“Mace’s scheme will complement the development already underway – most notably in Park Place – providing new spaces, facilities and homes in the centre of Stevenage and a boost to our local economy with the potential for hundreds of new jobs and training opportunities for local people.

“The commitment of the council, our partners, local businesses and the property sector specialists that have helped us reach this milestone all demonstrate Stevenage’s significance as a local and regional centre.”

David Grover, chief operating officer at Mace, added: “We are delighted to have been chosen as the development partner for this exciting landmark opportunity to transform Stevenage town centre, and deliver new homes, shops, jobs and other fantastic benefits for the town and its residents.

“We are looking forward to working closely with the council, local businesses and the wider community to develop our joint vision and will bring forward proposals for consultation in 2018.”
