Sutton Council has announced Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Ltd (GKRL) as the preferred development partner for the next phase of its GBP 500 million (US$ 647.7 million) town center regeneration.
The plans for the St Nicholas Shopping Centre, Civic Offices, Gibson Road car park, and Secombe Theatre sites will open a brand new Civic Hub in the heart of the town center. The Hub will offer residents a new ‘front door’ to access services from the Council and its partners right on the high street and a new library and community spaces. The proposed Civic Hub should be completed by mid-2029.
Around 740 new homes - 50% of which will be affordable housing for local families, including nearly 300 homes for social rent - will be built on the existing Civic Offices, Gibson Road car park, and Secombe Theatre sites. There will also be improvements to the public realm, such as new ways to access the town center. The decision follows the successful recent openings of Oru Sutton and Throwley Yard, the plans for a new home on the High Street for Sutton College, as well as the construction of new council homes at Beech Tree Place and Elm Grove in the town center.
