Nottingham’s Broad Marsh and The Island Quarter have been showcased at a national forum this week as two of the most significant city centre development sites in the UK.

Councillor Ben Bradley, Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council and MP for Mansfield joins Invest in Nottingham’s panel at The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF).

Nottingham will showcase “the UK’s biggest city centre development opportunity” through a dedicated panel discussion, focused on the intense period of economic regeneration that is set to take place, with The Island Quarter and the transformational Broad Marsh development, leading the way. In addition, the city has secured a slot within the exclusive Investor Centre, a dedicated area for city leaders to highlight opportunities to domestic and international investors.

It was fantastic to today be at the unveiling of the Vision for Broad Marsh. Nottingham’s independent Greater Broad Marsh Advisory Group, established by Nottingham City Council in March 2021, has today published its Vision and recommendations for one of the most significant City Centre development sites in the UK and the “once in many generations” opportunity for Nottingham to lead the way in city centre regeneration following the impacts of Covid-19 and online retailing. 

Laurence Henry, the well-known Nottingham chef and former MasterChef winner, has been named chef patron at Canal Turn – the stunning new restaurant and entertainment space currently on site at The Island Quarter.

If you aren’t aware, East Midlands Airport is home to the UK’s largest dedicated cargo operation and the UK’s number one airport for express freight. It is an effective driver for other activity in the immediate area such as the SEGRO Logistics Park which is a 700 acre development with occupiers such as Amazon taking full advantage of our central position in the very heart of the country.
