About us
Development Stage 5 – Under construction
Work has begun on the £80million transformation of Plymouth’s main railway station into a modern transport hub with shops and offices.
Construction has started on the main concourse of the train station as part of a huge package to completely transform a key entrance to the city, which will be renamed Brunel Plaza.
Land at the Railway Station is allocated for a mixed-use regeneration scheme that delivers a high quality gateway and arrival point to the city and increases the capacity of the station to accommodate increasing numbers of passengers. Uses which will be supported include offices, education facilities, commercial, hotel, small-scale retail development, residential and student accommodation. Provision is made in the order of 4,800 sq.m. of B1a offices as part of the mix of uses.
