space. The £9bn project will see the creation of a
vibrant, mixed-use development, a new neighbourhood and
business quarter for London, serviced by a Zone 1 extension
to the London Underground Northern Line and the restoration
of the Grade II* listed Power Station. With Phase one already
completed the first new residents were moving into the Grade II*

Station will house more than 100 retail outlets, bars and restaurants, as
well as unique events, leisure spaces and visitor attractions.
The Island Quarter is an exciting mixed-use development and it is unique,
not just for Nottingham but for the Midlands and the UK. The 40-acre site
will be totally transformed to bring new homes, grade-A office space, creative
market, a lifestyle hotel, retail units, a ‘linear’ park and community space as well

the site. The basin will be landscaped out, with a new pavilion and food and beverage outlets created. Phase 1B following on from this original
phase will comprise of a lifestyle hotel as well co-working space and additional food and beverage outlets.
Located on the edge of the Cotswolds and adjacent to junction 9 of the M5 and A46 trunk road, Cotswolds Designer Outlet is perfectly

more than 90 shops on a gross lettable area of approximately 195,000sq ft, to be opened in two phases. With architecture inspired by the
region, the premium outlet village will include a strong food and beverage offer and will be neighboured by a 81,800sq ft garden centre. The
adjacent M&S Simply Food, Starbucks and Petrol Filling Station, together with the proposed 850 homes proposed to the south, completes the
offering. This unique project will be developed by Robert Hitchins Ltd in partnership with market leading outlet operator Realm and phase
