New prospects to come at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth
We’re excited by the prospects to come at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth - we have been working with Landsec and its team for a while now on repositioning the centre’s retail and leisure offer and enhancing its links with the City and the Harbour environment.
Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare has been working with an amazing team to develop a Masterplan and multiple major component projects, and earlier this year Landsec announced a £45m transformation plan to cement Gunwharf as the UK’s leading waterfront destination.
Designs have a strong focus on character, placemaking and visitor experience: the first phase to come forward through the planning process is The Avenues, with permission secured to give this area a significant facelift.
The animation released this summer by Landsec showcases our designs for enhancements across the waterfront quarter, with elegant connections and entrances, and injection of character into welcoming public squares, combining contemporary heritage with accessible luxury. The Avenues are reimagined, and a new maritime character added to Central Square, Marlborough Square and enhanced activity on Canalside and the Waterfront.
L+S+H thrive on making places that people from around the world enjoy, and look forward to delivering the next evolution of Gunwharf to secure its position as a destination of world renown.
