Victoria Square
Project: Victoria Square
Architect: BDP Architects
Victoria Square incorporates nearly 63,000m2 of retail space over three floors, including the flagship House of Fraser department store. Added to a two-level food court, a restaurant terrace, an eight screen Odeon cinema and 106 apartments, the scheme totals approximately 135,253m2. 1000 underground car parking spaces are provided over two levels, with good vertical circulation links and generous provision for disabled and family parking.
In contrast to the traditional ‘enclosed mall’ model, Victoria Square is an open ‘streetscape’ model. It responds to the existing urban grain, establishing new relationships between previously disjointed areas of the public realm.
