The Regeneration of Old Town

Complex Development Projects (CDP) is working in partnership with Warwick District Council to deliver an ambitious 10-year Creative Quarter initiative to regenerate the Old Town of Leamington Spa.

Royal Leamington Spa is a beautiful, historic and affluent spa town in the middle of Warwickshire in close proximity to Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, and located only one hour from London by train, with direct rail links to major cities like Birmingham and Manchester. It is located in a high-growth area of the West Midlands, close to HQ centres for National Grid, Aston Martin Lagonda, E.On, Dennis Eagle, Jaguar Land Rover, Codemasters and Microsoft Xbox studio Playground Games.

The Old Town of Leamington Spa is being regenerated as a new Creative Quarter, reimagining the oldest part of the town to provide a focal point for the town’s booming cultural sector. Schemes will offer exciting new and regenerated spaces for people to live, work, play and create, delivering the key elements of the urban lifestyle that are fundamental to further expanding one of the UK’s leading creative clusters.

There are opportunities for new creative workspaces and mixed-use schemes to service buoyant demand from the cultural sector, where demand currently considerably outstrips supply. The town is known as ‘Silicon Spa’, due to its UK leading video games development cluster, including both blue-chip companies and a large network of smaller creative businesses. However, the creative community here covers all aspects of the sector, from world class music and dance to heritage crafts, street art to sculptors.
