HERE are the artist's impressions of a huge multi-million-pound plan to completely transform a part of the city centre.
The major revamp of Lowesmoor Wharf would include bars, restaurants and cafes, shops, hundreds of apartments and offices to create a new bustling canalside destination in Worcester.
The enormous project, which is estimated to cost around £85 million, includes 271 apartments as well as more than a thousand square metres of space for shops and restaurants and more than 3,500 square metres of office space.
Dozens of new buildings would be built including a 12-storey, nine-storey and a couple of seven-storey buildings. Some of the existing buildings would be repaired and renovated.
Two new canal-inspired water features will be formed joining up with Worcester Marina and filled with chairs, benches, tables and trees.
Three public squares have been included and have been designed to best capture the sunlight throughout the day including a ‘lunchtime’ space and a sunset terrace.
Four canalside blocks ranging from six-to-nine-storeys will each house apartments with some offices and shops, bars, restaurants and cafes on the ground floor.
Two blocks facing Lowesmoor Terrace will contain apartments, shops and restaurants. One of the buildings will be 12 storeys and will contain more than 50 apartments as well as shops.
Two new water features will create canalside public spaces surrounded by bars, restaurants, cafes, bars and shops as well as apartments and offices.
