The Broadway is a shopping and leisure complex in the centre of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, which opened on 5 November 2015. It was built and was operated, in its first year, by the Westfield Corporation. It is currently operated by Muroe K Asset Management Ltd.

Buildings were demolished and roads rerouted to make way for the development in 2004; but because of continued failure to secure buy-in from enough businesses, construction did not begin in earnest until January 2014: for most of the intervening years, the site had little apart from a deep excavation, though from 2010 the area round the edge of the site was laid out as an urban park.

The "hole in the ground" was very unpopular in Bradford, and at one point the site was occupied by protestors.

History

In 1998 the Forster Square Development Partnership was established between Magellan Properties, Caddick Developments and the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. They planned a 51,096 m² (570,000 sq ft) shopping centre containing Debenhams, Next, C&A,[1] Marks and Spencer and 100 shops and other leisure facilities.[2] (BHS had a store in Broadway, but it demolished as part of the demolition of the previous development on the site and C&A also had a store on the old Broadway but closed all UK stores in 2001 and thus cancelled plans to be part of this redevelopment). The partnership sold it to Stannifer which was bought out by the Westfield Group in December 2004.[3]

Planning permission for the development was approved on 10 September 2003, with the claim that 3,000 new jobs could be created.[4] Demolition on the Forster Square site started on 18 March 2004 and by mid-2006 the site was empty apart from a large pile of rubble. It was originally hoped that the complex would be open by late 2007[4] (with construction commencing in early 2006[3]), but with a lack of anchor tenants and with many workmen still working on Westfield Derby, the start date for construction was pushed back.[5] The delays led to Bradford Council threatening to take back control of the site from Westfield, if progress was not made.[5]

By 2006 demolition work had freed for development a site encompassed by Hall Ings, Well Street, the new Lower Kirkgate and Charles Street.[6]

In April 2010, after several years in which no construction had taken place, the project was mothballed and work began on creating a temporary park on part of the site.[7]

The site was subsequently occupied by protesters unhappy about the lack of development.[8] In January 2014, the park was demolished, and work resumed on the construction.[9]

The centre was opened at 10 am on 5 November 2015, by Alexandra Burke at the Forster Square entrance, and simultaneously at other entrances by representatives from Bradford City and the Bradford Burns Unit, and by the world's longest-married couple Karam and Kartari Chand.[10]

Temporary urban park

In February 2010, almost 6 years after the start of demolition, Bradford Council announced a plan to convert part of the construction site into a temporary park.[11] The park would include new footpaths, seating, grassed areas, urban allotments and a performance area[11] The funding for the park scheme was provided partly by central government, as part of a fund to help local councils invest after recession, Yorkshire Forward, and the developers Westfield. Work began on the park in April 2010.[7] The park was a temporary measure; and was closed on 6 January 2014 as construction of the development was about to begin.[12]
