Six shortlisted for GBP400m mixed-use development in UK

Cheltenham’s GBP 400 million (USD 516 million) Golden Valley Development has announced that six potential development partners have been shortlisted after an extensive search closed earlier this month.

It will also provide over 3,000 homes in an exemplar Garden Community.

Tim Atkins, managing director for place and growth, said: “The reaction and response to the search for a development partner for the Golden Valley Development has been overwhelmingly positive. The calibre of the submissions has been exceptional, just recognition of the scale and significance of the opportunity we have in front of us. We’re absolutely delighted therefore to have six strong candidates to take forward to the next stage and will now be entering into further detailed dialogue with these potential partners over the coming months. We hope to be in a position to announce our appointed partner in spring 2021.”
