Railway Triangle / Corridor
Is a key arterial route into the city and had sat in an
unused derelict condition for many years.The solution
to the site was not easy to find.There were many
constraints. However a solution was found and
delivered by the developer LXB to build a Morrison’s
supermarket (completed) and a range of employment
units (underway).
Gloucester Quays
The Quays has become shorthand for the Outlet
Centre operated by Peel Holdings.The Gloucester
Quays scheme is much more substantial than the outlet
centre and covers some 25 hectares of brownfield land
and includes Gloucestershire College, Sainsbury’s,
Travelodge and new cinema and successful restaurant
area. It represents a significant investment by the Peel
Group and has made a major contribution to the
regeneration of Gloucester.
The journey continues with the City Council and
its partners driving forward the next generation
of schemes.
Kings Quarter

development partner, Stanhope, is in detailed discussions
with retailers and leisure providers to deliver the wider

Blackfriars Priory
Originally founded in 1239 and one of the most
complete surviving Dominican Blackfriars in England,
it has recently been launched as an impressive cultural
venue, with adjoining new build educational facility.
Gloucester Docks
The regeneration of the Docks has achieved a satisfying
degree of maturity.The Docks regeneration project
was effectively started by the Council’s pioneering 1980s
move, which saved four of the historic warehouses.
A combination of new build and the repair / refurbishment
of many of the historic docks warehouses, typically for
apartments with active commercial uses on the ground
floor, have breathed new life into the docks.
There has also been considerable investment in the public
realm which has set a quality benchmark that befits this
unique heritage site which, along with the Cathedral, is
one of the city’s most visited tourist destinations.
Greyfriars
Following the move of Gloucestershire College to
its purpose built new facility at Gloucester Docks,
the vacant site is now being regenerated into a significant
new residential development in the heart of the city.
Significant regeneration projects that have been successfully delivered in
Gloucester include:
