Concert Steps Phase III
A major development by Frenson Limited which will see a building at 25-27 Seel Street refurbished with a three storey glazed extension.
It will house shops, offices and apartments. The development also involves the creation of a pedestrian route from Fleet Street to Seel Street. New pedestrian routes will provide better linkage to the city centre and surrounding area. The new access will be beneficial for the residential development and the retail, business and commercial developments.
The extensive development is part of a continued investment in the Ropewalks area of the city and will contribute heavily to the regeneration of this area. Not only will this development make use of otherwise redundant resources but it will also contribute positively to the public spaces in the area, the environment and local economy.
Businesses in the area will have a greater confidence in themselves and the area through the improved safety of the locality, the increased trade from new visitors into the area, returning locals and residents of the newly built accommodation.
Road closures and pedestrian footpath closures are to be kept to a minimum in order to maintain 'business as usual' throughout the duration of the works. Although the works will cause disruption they will be beneficial to the area in the long run owing to a sustained increase in spending.
Work is due for completion in Summer 2007.
