The Lower Precinct and Market at Coventry were built as part of the redevelopment of the city after extensive wartime bombing. Together with the other parts of the shopping precinct, they form one of the most famous pedestrianised shopping schemes of their period.
By 1997, when the Vixcroft team was appointed to undertake its re-purposing, Lower Precinct had suffered from decades of neglect.
The Lower Precinct refurbishment was a complex restoration. The structure was modified to insert two new anchor stores and attracted retailers new to Coventry to take units in the Precinct, thus improving the city’s status as a retail destination.
The re-purposing of the Precinct achieved a fourfold increase in rental values and a doubling of its valuation multiplier which in total amounted to an increased capital value of circa £45m.
