Hammerson, owner and manager of the flagship destination Highcross, has submitted plans to redevelop the former Debenhams store at Highcross, St Peter’s Lane, in Leicester, England, into new homes for rent. Hammerson has worked jointly with private-rented-sector specialist Packaged Living, which has extensive experience of bringing forward high-quality PRS schemes, to develop the application.
The development, designed by CRTKL, would see the former Debenhams department store at Highcross transformed into new high-quality homes for local residents, as well as providing major improvements to enliven East Bond Street, where the entrance will be located. On completion, the scheme will provide more than 300 new homes and an improved public realm for the city alongside resident amenities including a roof garden. Sitting at the heart of the community, residents will be minutes from the city’s strong line-up of cultural and commercial attractions and public transport links.
