Favorite Project
Leicester Food Park. The creation of nine starter units was new territory for Leicester City Council who were developing a parcel of their own land speculatively to act as a catalyst for wider regeneration. The £5.8m Park was funded by Leicester City Council and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2007 – 2013 programme, with strict timescales for completion. Eight of the nine units were let within three months of the development’s launch and the Council were very keen to undertake a second phase.
