Benoy’s Wokingham Town Centre Regeneration project has been shortlisted for a prestigious Property Week Property Award in the Placemaking category.
The Property Week Property Awards are the UK’s leading and most prestigious annual awards dedicated to the full spectrum of the commercial property industry.
The project shortlisting follows Wokingham being awarded the Royal Town Planning Institute’s award for‘Excellence in Planning for a Successful Economy’ last year and also the ULI Award for Excellence earlier this year.
Our work at Wokingham saw us working across two sites – Peach Place and Elms Fields, as part of a wider regeneration project instigated by Wokingham Borough Council in the face of a failing retail and leisure offer, lack of town centre living and competition from nearby competing centres such as Bracknell and Reading.
Closely following Wokingham Borough Council’s vision, Benoy reimagined the town centre as a thriving destination for commerce and urban living; with modern retail formats, F&B, leisure and a significant quantum of residential across two mixed-use developments at Peach Place and Elms Field.
The award results will be announced at a ceremony in London in November.
