Developers for two town-centre regeneration schemes worth £150m were selected this week.
Stockdale Land and Sainsbury’s were chosen for a £75m scheme in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
The partnership pipped Bridehall, Bellway Homes and Wilson Bowden to the project, which includes a 35,000 sq ft supermarket with 60 flats on top.
A further 16 houses, Multiplex Apollo Cinema, restaurants and a health and fitness centre are planned.
CBRE is advising Cherwell council; Blair Kirkman is acting for Stockdale Land/Sainsbury’s.
Meanwhile, Daventry in Northamptonshire is also set for a £75m revamp.
Henry Boot will build 100,000 sq ft of shops with 50 flats above, 150,000 sq ft of retail warehousing, a 15,000 sq ft health and fitness centre and housing on 15 acres.
The developer beat Wilson Bowden, Development Securities and Henry Davidson to the scheme, which forms the central plank of Daventry council’s 16-year redevelopment framework.
