Opened March 2009 | 265,000 sq ft

In partnership with St Edmundsbury Borough Council, Centros undertook the redevelopment of the 12-acre former cattle market site in Bury St Edmunds town centre to create ‘arc’ – a mixed-use scheme aimed at expanding this market town’s retail offer. Providing a Debenhams department store, 35 shops, 62 residential units, a new multi-purpose public venue building and over 850 car parking spaces, the open pedestrian shopping streets have been designed as a natural and seamless extension of the town centre’s medieval street pattern.

Retailers include Next, H&M, New Look, TopShop/TopMan, River Island, Monsoon/ Accessorize, Vero Moda / Jack & Jones, Hobbs, Animal, Crew Clothing, Fat Face, Jane Norman, Wallis, Peacocks, Clarks, Swarovski, Waterstones, HMV, Vodafone, Costa, Blacks and Paperchase.

Four months after opening arc is 88.5% let proving that the right design and careful integration with the existing retail environment can produce great success even in the depth of the current recession.
