The Westgate Alliance has unveiled its plans to open a new shopping centre in Oxford.
Following a period of public consultation, the Westgate Alliance - a joint venture between Land Securities and The Crown Estate - has submitted its planning application for the project, which will add 800,000 square feet to Oxford’s existing city centre offering if successful.
Bert Martin, the Development Director at Land Securities, explained: “The new Westgate aims to enhance what is already a very strong offer in Oxford. By creating a stunning new retail destination, respecting the character of this great city, our ambition is to further add to some of the most attractive environments in the UK. The new scheme is a unique opportunity for national and international retailers to gain rare, quality exposure in such a unique context.”
The shopping centre will be home to more than 100 new retail outlets including a John Lewis department store, restaurants, a premium boutique cinema, a rooftop dining venue and the city’s largest car park with up to 1,000 spaces.
