A new image has emerged of what developers hope the Buttermarket Shopping Centre in Ipswich will look like after its revamp.
The four-storey space is set to be transformed to include a 12 screen cinema, bowling alley, gym and nine restaurants.
The multi-million pound project’s first phase is nearly complete, with New Look open and trading in its new, bigger store and TK Maxx fitting out ready for a grand opening next February.
The second phase to regenerate the 24-year-old building with leisure facilities is now underway and programmed to be ready by summer 2016.
A planning application has now been submitted for a new entrance to the leisure quarter.
Architecture, sports and leisure firm LK2 and contractor Simons Group are refurbishing the Buttermarket for new owner Capital & Regional.
Empire will operate the cinema.
Illustrations provided by Capital & Regional show restaurants including Wagamama, Joes Kitchen, Five Guys, Prezzo, and Coast to Coast in the new centre.
