Willmott Dixon has been appointed main developer for a £120m mixed-use development in Beverley, Yorkshire, scheduled to open during December 2015.

The development is set to comprise a five-screen cinema complex operated by Parkway Cinemas, multi-storey car parking for 550 vehicles, a selection of retail outlets, nine restaurant and café outlets and an 80-bedroom hotel to be operated by Premier Inn.

Willmott Dixon beat off competition from Balfour Beatty, Wates, BAM, Clugston, Bowmer & Kirkland, GB Building and Morgan Sindall to win the Flemingate contract for the 10-acre site from developer Wykeland. Panter Hudspith Architects produced designs for the project.

Commenting on the development, the firm’s managing director in the north, Anthony Dillon, said: “Flemingate is a fantastic scheme for the whole region, attracting inward investment that will bring long-term economic and leisure benefits to Beverley.”
