Delivered on behalf of Lendlease and Invesco Real Estate the redevelopment includes a 140,000 sq ft extension of additional space at the first and second levels. This includes the creation of a ten screen, 40,000 sq ft Empire Cinema complex on the second level, new retail and food and beverage units with a new front of house circulation.

The project involved the alteration and demolition of the existing concrete frame structure, with a new steel frame structure built on top to provide the extension.
