The £300 million Civic and Cultural Quarter is set to transform 25 acres of Doncaster’s town centre into a popular destination. The regeneration scheme will totally revitalise a declining part of the town centre delivering a range of 21st Century facilities.

The flagship development will take six to eight years to complete and work is scheduled to start on site in 2008. Once complete the project will have delivered Doncaster’s first public square, a new performance venue, new civic offices, a new library and art showcase area, various leisure developments including a new swimming pool, town centre housing, additional shopping and commercial offices.

The scheme will also represent a further boost to Doncaster by creating more than 1300 permanent jobs and generating a further £19 million for the Borough’s booming economy.

3D is responsible for appointing Muse Developments who will ensure the delivery of the Civic and Cultural Quarter and regeneration of Waterdale.

Mayor Martin Winter said:

“The Civic and Cultural Quarter will replace a declining pocket of the town centre, continue the regeneration of the whole of central Doncaster and encourage further high quality private development in Doncaster. It’s another huge project that is putting Doncaster on the map as a fantastic place to live, work and enjoy.”
