Capital & Regional has lodged plans with Dacorum Borough Council for a £13m reconfiguration of the Marlowes shopping centre in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.
The proposals include a new nine-screen cinema located in the main mall and the refurbishment of part of the centre to create a new dining offer, comprising six units.
Capital & Regional will also remodel the northern entrance to the centre, which will be the primary arrival point for the new leisure offer.
Capital & Regional acquired the Marlowes, which comprises 340,000 sq ft of retail space, for £35.5m in 2016. Since then the company has invested an additional £18.3m to consolidate its ownership in the town centre to enable the delivery of its long-term plans for Hemel.
Capital & Regional’s vision to create a revitalised retail and leisure offer for Hemel is aligned with Dacorum Borough Council’s £30m town centre regeneration programme.
