CDP is joining the Midlands UK delegation at MIPIM 2020. We will be showcasing our various regeneration projects including the Telegraph Hotel which will be Coventry’s first four-star offering. The hotel will feature 88 boutique bedrooms – the majority of which are considerably larger than average – and will be a stylish addition to Coventry and the region.
It will boast a 160-seat conference facility, an 80-cover restaurant and a main bar and rooftop bar, all of which evoke the style and former use of the building as the former newspaper office and print works. It will be open to guests in early Autumn 2020 and booking enquiries are currently being taken.
As part of the wider regeneration of the area, CDP has submitted planning applications for two key corner sites that have remained in temporary use – since WW2.
The Well Street proposals face onto The Burges Conservation Area which is being restored by Historic Coventry Trust as the national demonstrator project for the Government’s Historic High Streets Programme. The development will provide 40 high-quality flats for city-centre living, and 4,500 sq ft of retail and office space.
The other project, ‘Mid-Century Apartments’, will be designed in 1950’s style to complete the terrace of buildings that include the Belgrade Theatre and will provide 16 apartments and new gardens to greatly improve the setting of the Grade I Listed St John’s Church apartments.
The project will transform the current underpass area into a vibrant and attractive space, including an amphitheatre and a bouldering wall. The Radford Brook will then be re-created through the former Gas Works site, forming a natural water feature and parkland through a previously contaminated site. The park is due to be completed in time for when Coventry is UK City of Culture in 2021.
Meet our Director, Ian Harrabin at the event 10 -13 March, Midlands Pavillion, Stand C16.D Cannes, France.
