Cathedral Lanes Development

All Facades UK Ltd are proud to have completed our latest rejuvenation project located in the heart of Coventry City Centre Cathedral Lanes. Carrying out construction works and facade installation in the latest development of Coventrys growing redevelopment.

The newly refurbished development is now occupied by restaurants and bars such as The Botanist, Las Iguanas and The Cosy Club. It is expected that the works All Facades UK have carried out will help Cathedral Lanes become one of the most popular eating and drinking destinations in the West Midlands.

Since opening The Botanist has attracted over 50,000 customers within the first three months of opening, new figures have revealed.

The venue is based at Cathedral Lanes, a £20m development which has been transformed by All Facades UK.

Matt Dudgeon, general manager of The Botanist, said: “Since opening our doors we have been absolutely delighted by how well received we’ve been in Coventry.

“Even through the classic January ‘dry spell’ we remained fully booked every Saturday evening. We also see a lot of guests coming from outside of Coventry, wanting to come and see what all the fuss is about.”

The first phase of the development opened in 2015 and brought Cosy Club, Las Iguanas and Wagamama to Coventry

The Botanist are joined by Zizzi, Bistrot, MOD Pizza and Turtle Bay.

Shearer Property Group is the city council’s partner in the City Centre South and Precinct developments, and will be showcasing its work in the city at MIPIM in March.

The company is a member of the Coventry & Warwickshire MIPIM Partnership which is made up of around 20 private sector companies and organisations who promote the area’s presence at the four-day event as part of the UK Midlands.

Guy Shearer said: “We always saw the potential of Cathedral Lanes but its success has even exceeded our expectations.

“We knew it lacked a restaurant quarter which would attract local people as well as the very vibrant student population, but the response from the operators and the customer numbers being recorded proves the extraordinary pent up demand in the city.

“Cathedral Lanes is playing a pivotal role in helping the development of the city centre, as is the transformation of The Precinct area, which is now on site for delivery before 2021 City of Culture and that is certainly a message which we and Coventry will be taking to investors at MIPIM.”
