Wycombe District Council has selected Mace to deliver the £150m Handy Cross Hub town centre mixed-use development.

This 17-acre scheme will include a Waitrose, a coachway park and ride, hotel and offices.

Mace Real Estate is acting as development manager, as well as providing a wide range of services including project management, cost management and design services.

The Handy Cross Hub will also include 350,000 sq ft of commercial business  space and a 150-bed hotel.

Huw Griffiths, Development Director at Mace Real Estate Ltd said: “It’s always great to work on projects which we know will leave a lasting legacy and we look forward to seeing many years of planning and design translating into first class leisure, business and travel facilities for the people of Wycombe and the surrounding areas.”

Charles Brocklehurst, Major Projects Executive from Wycombe District Council added: “We worked well with Mace Real Estate to conceive the masterplan and to get it through planning and we are very much looking forward to the end result. ”

Willmott Dixon started construction in May on the £25m sports and leisure development, which is the first phase of the handy Cross Hub.
