Bedford Borough Council sought a development partner to regenerate a council owned car park and former Town Hall. Coplan was originally selected in partnership with Linkcity by the council. Bouygues Construction were appointed main contractor.

Coplan funded the commercial elements with TH Real Estate and the residential elements funded through Delph Property Group and The Guiness Trust.

The Scheme opened in summer 2017.
