(Renders) Bolton Victoria SquareBy Chapman Taylor
This website was created by Persona.Studio as an RnD project using AI to collate all the information about the Crompton Place development for the residents of Bolton. The flagship redevelopment at the heart of Bolton's £1.5bn town centre regeneration.
Crompton Place sits at the heart of Bolton town centre, opposite the Grade II listed Town Hall. Acquired by Bolton Council in 2018, this 280,000 sq ft site is being reborn as a residential-led, mixed-use neighbourhood — the cornerstone of a £1.5bn masterplan to reshape the town for a new generation.
The £250m scheme will deliver up to 340 new homes, a 110-room hotel, around 80,000 sq ft of modern workspace, and a vibrant ground floor of leisure, hospitality and cultural uses. Just as importantly, demolition will reintroduce a direct pedestrian route between Victoria Square and Bradshawgate — a connection lost for decades.
Bolton Council has appointed Federated Hermes MEPC as the development partner. The team is the force behind some of the UK's most successful urban regeneration schemes, including NOMA in Manchester, Wellington Place in Leeds and Paradise in Birmingham. Their appointment marks a clear shift from vision to delivery.
Demolition is being delivered by industry leaders Rhodar over a 50-week programme starting in summer 2026, with completion scheduled for spring/summer 2027. The work alone will deliver £1m of local economic spend and create two Bolton apprenticeships, with construction due to follow on the cleared site.
During the interim, "meanwhile use" will keep the heart of Bolton alive — outdoor events, pop-up markets and public performances animating Victoria Square as the next chapter takes shape.
A major step forward for the town centre transformation: demolition works at Crompton Place will create new jobs and apprenticeships for Bolton, paving the way for the flagship redevelopment to begin.

This website was created with AI by Persona Studio as an experiment in aggregating publicly available information in a way that was more accessible to the general public. The site is self regulating and self populating meaning it updates itself based on latest news and developments. As such the information should be taken as an overview only.
