Leonard Design is proudly working with The East Midlands Combined County Authority and Mayor Claire Ward on some visionary opportunities for the East Midlands.
At UKReiif in Leeds, the Combined County Authority announced the Trent Sports District, a multi-billion-pound sports regeneration project. As part of a consortium led by Gleeds, alongside Arup and Savills, Leonard Design is working to develop a regeneration framework that sets out a clear long-term vision and delivery plan for sport-led regeneration across the area.
On the EMCCA stand at the UK’s largest real estate investment and infrastructure forum, Mayor Claire presented a film produced by the Leonard Design Motion Graphics Team to launch their vision. The sports district forms part of the wider Trent Arc investment program, which will deliver 30,000 new homes and 40,000 new jobs to the cities of Nottingham and Derby, as well as the surrounding region, creating a £2.4 billion boost to the regional economy.
The Trent Sports District is set to become a major driver of growth for Nottingham and the wider East Midlands. Built around one of the UK’s strongest clusters of sports, leisure , and waterfront assets, the district will bring these strengths together to support regeneration, attract investment , and create a better-connected place for residents, visitors , and businesses.
Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward, said:
“Nottingham is a true city of sport: football, cricket, rowing, ice hockey, it is all here. We have global teams, loyal fans, and assets to be proud of, but we can do so much more. The Trent Sports District is how we will turn that aspiration for more into reality: a set of investments that help the city embrace its sporting culture, increase access for residents and visitors, and improve quality of life for all.
Anchored by the redevelopment of the City Ground, the District will be an exemplar of sports-led regeneration, and is one of the key propositions we will be discussing with partners and investors at UKREiiF. Team East Midlands is on the pitch.”
