The client is Muse Developments, which is leading the regeneration project in partnership with the town council.
The 50-week construction programme on the 12,500m虏 supermarket is scheduled to begin next week. Work will comprise the construction of a three-storey building and mezzanine office space, with a complex faceted glazed fa莽ade that will be 100m wide and 17m high. A two-storey, 600-space car park will be built above the store.
This is the fourth project that Shepherd Construction has carried out on behalf of Muse, having delivered the St Paul鈥檚 Square Development in Liverpool in three phases. The last phase of this scheme saw the delivery in 2011 of No 4, a speculative office development which was completed ahead of programme, below budget and with zero defects at handover.
Project architect is Leach Rhodes Walker, structural engineer is Arup, quantity surveyor is Davis Langdon and M&E consultant is WSP.
