Willmott Dixon is building a 拢136m residential-led mixed-use development on the site of the former Bute Street Shoppers car park in Luton.
The Stage will have 292 residential apartments along with commercial units, a food hall/events space and a public garden square.
The project team also includes WSP and Rider Levett Bucknall as employer鈥檚 agent and project manager, and Artelia UK as quantity surveyor.
It is a key part of Luton Council鈥檚 town centre regeneration plans. The local MP, council leaders, project partners and stakeholders assembled on site yesterday (Thursday 5th 聽March) to sink the first spade.
Simon Ramage, managing director for Willmott Dixon鈥檚 London & East construction region, said: 鈥淕roundbreakings not only mark progress on site, but they鈥檙e also about recognising the people behind the project. Today celebrates everyone who has helped turn the vision for The Stage into reality. We鈥檙e proud that this project will not only deliver a great building, but also create jobs, opportunities and a lasting legacy for the local community.鈥�
