Meadowhall to mark 25th birthday with £50m refurb

British Land has announced it will carry out a ‘substantial’ £50 million internal refurbishment of Meadowhall, to celebrate the shopping centre’s 25th birthday.

The refurbishment is set to commence in autumn 2015 and will be completed by the end of 2017.

The refurbishment includes new way finding, mall seating and lighting as well as the installation of dramatic lighting artwork.

The works will largely be completed out of hours to enable all retail and leisure operators to trade throughout the period.

The refurbishment will help reposition the Sheffield shopping centre ensuring it remains a ‘modern shopping environment’ which is locally preferred by both retailers and consumers.

Claire Barber, head of shopping centre asset management for British Land, said: “Across the retail portfolio, we are investing in our assets to ensure they reflect the way people shop today.

“The refurbishment of Meadowhall will reposition the centre to appeal to premium and lifestyle retailers as well as a broader range of customers. We are very excited about the future for Meadowhall and the experience this investment will create for both our customers and retailers.”
