Bradford - The Market

The market area is being revitalised and re-imagined with a series of bold new residential, retail, public realm and leisure projects.

The re-energised Market area will act as a northern destination for commerce, complementing the new Broadway centre to the south and encouraging shoppers to travel on foot between the two.

The Bowl

The World Mile, a new culturally focused and specialist shopping and leisure destination, will bring new experiences, tastes and sounds to Bradford's cosmopolitan population and will attract shoppers and visitors from all over the region and beyond.

This is enhanced by the pedestrianised Rawson Square, a dedicated space for the outdoor markets, events and street performances.

The Kirkgate Shopping Centre, now owned by the Irish Investors Crownway, has seen an £11m refurbishment for the opening of a 120,000 sq ft Primark. Further tenants are being introduced to complement the existing variety of retailers.

The World Mile will maximise Bradford's reputation for specialist goods and international cuisine.

The Blueprint

The strength of the city's retail industry will be supported by a substantial area of commercial office space. Four key projects happening in The Market are:

World Mile

This will be a specialist and culturally focused shopping and leisure destination creating a unique identity for the city centre. This will maximise Bradford's excellent reputation for providing access to specialist goods and international cuisine. By developing a cosmopolitan destination the World Mile will draw footfall across the prime retail area, driving up commercial value.

Northgate Bridge

The footbridge will provide a vital pedestrian link into the Market Neighbourhood, improving accessibility of the communities to the north of the city and reconnect Manningham to the centre.

The Bowl Key Areas

Market Urban Village

This new residential development will connect the Northgate Bridge and the southern area of the city. The listed buildings of Simes Street Chapel and Fountain Hall will provide opportunity for leisure venues to complete residential development.

Rawson Square

The square will provide a destination for outdoor performances, events and farmers markets, where the wider rural district canengage with the city. The improved environment, alongside the creation of a new public transport link, will draw visitors to the area and support the retail core and speciality shopping.
