A 13 floor project nearby Poole Station, Poole Harbour
I don't understand this, the first picture looks like its looking towards Falkland Sq and the (ex)Argos while the second one is from The Lighthouse towards the bus station. That would mean the cinema is covering almost the entire Dolphin Centre.Legal and General Investment Management have recently announced plans for a £26m refurb and extension of the aging Dolphin Centre. It really needs about 10 times that figure spent in order to reposition Poole as a shopping destination and bring the mall up to modern day standards, particularly when you compare it to the £400m spend on Oxford's new Westgate mall.
Still, £26m is better than zilch and, hopefully, it will be the first phase of a major spend / regen project for the future. LGIM have recently ploughed £85m into extending Eastbourne's aging Arndale which has attracted a whole host of new retailers, restaurants and 9 screen cinema. LGIM have appointed TP Bennett architects who have created some illustrative CGIs / photomontages.
The proposed Poole works scheduled for completion by the end of 2018 also include a 9 screen cinema (with one 'open-air' screen), and four new restaurants. New retailers include Deichmann.
"We would be putting in a planning application if we were to secure the site for three substantial towers with iconic apartments which I think would be really quite fitting for the site.
“Clearly, we are going to do something that is very, very, very iconic. It would really be something for people to drive past and say ‘wow, look at that’.
“Of course, we are obviously going to try go for substantial buildings and the apartments will have the most fantastic views.
“We plan to put a sky restaurant on top of the highest tower so the public will be able to enjoy it.”
