DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Midsummer Place Shopping Mall, Milton Keynes, UK

Midsummer Place is a 42,000 sqm shopping mall carefully designed to incorporate an existing 150 year old ancient oak tree and fit within the Milton Keynes grid road system. The project included a spectacular glazed boulevard, linking the new centre to the existing shopping mall to create a total of 168,000 sqm of shopping experience. The real challenge was to introduce new inspirational retailers to Milton Keynes and this was successfully achieved bringing retailers such as Hugo Boss, Coast, Zara, Mango, H&M, GAP, Virgin and the anchor Debenhams. The centre was over 90% let at opening.
