Land Securities, Lend Lease and Queensberry have been shortlisted for a major town centre redevelopment project in Guildford, Surrey.
The trio are battling it out to become the council’s partner on the makeover of 6.2 acres of town centre land.
James Palmer, lead councillor for town centre planning, said: “The proposed redevelopment will offer better facilities for the town, local businesses and the wider community.
“We are committed to supporting Guildford’s thriving economy, and the interest and involvement of these major companies underlines the strength and vitality of our borough.”
A final decision on a preferred partner will be made next March.
Cushman & Wakefield is advising the council.
Earlier this week, supermarket group Waitrose was given the go ahead to build a circa 20,000 sq ft store on land it owns in the city centre.
