Historic England has selected Capital&Centric as the preferred developer on a circa 3.145-acre residential development site within the grounds of Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings.
The plans for the site will see new homes delivered and preserve the legacy of the Grade-I listed mill complex. Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, which is the world’s first iron-framed, reopened in 2022 following a £28m, eight-year restoration.
Historic England, supported by Lambert Smith Hampton, is finalising contractual details with Capital&Centric before work commences at the site.
Alastair Godfrey, project lead at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, said: “We look forward to working with Capital&Centric on the redevelopment of Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings. With their exceptional proposal that not only offers high-quality residential development but is also sympathetic to the Grade-I listed mill complex, we believe that they will be an excellent collaborative partner to drive forward the redevelopment of this historic site.”
John Moffat, joint managing director at Capital&Centric, added: “Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings is already an incredible piece of regeneration, and we’re proud to be building on that legacy. This is about creating a walkable, social, sustainable neighbourhood that feels like it’s always been part of the town. Somewhere with personality, soul and proper green space that brings people together.”
