The project involves the stripping out and removal of the existing bus station, retail units and public toilets below the viaduct; the construction of a 12 screen cinema complex including an IMAX screen
The construction of approximately 5,500m2 of new restaurant/retail space; multi-level car parking; and enhancement to the public realm.

The bus station relocation will be undertaken directly by Plymouth City Council Landscape and public realm works will include the provision of paved areas, planting, street furniture, public artwork, lighting as well as improvements to Exeter Street. Bretonside will be formed as a shared public space.
New car parking decks will be provided (partially under the existing viaduct structure) and will be accessed directly from Bretonside. Lift access is to be provided to all levels and pedestrian
