£350m Stoke development moves forward
Plans for a £350m overhaul of the East West Centre in Stoke-on-Trent, have moved forward with the submission of plans for a new bus station as part of the scheme.
Grimshaw Architects have drawn up the designs for the new-look bus station, which is set to occupy the site of an existing car park on John Street. It forms part of Realis Estate's wider bid to redevelop a city centre site adjacent to the current East West Centre, which will include a multi-screen cinema and a hotel.
Shops, cafés and restaurants are also earmarked as part of the retail-led mixed-use scheme - designed to create a new 'regional destination' for Stoke-on-Trent. Realis Estates managing director Duncan Mathieson said: "The submission of the planning application marks an important milestone for the redevelopment of the East West Centre."
