One New Change has been described as “one of the most beautifully designed and high quality buildings” that has ever been considered for the British Council of Shopping Centres annual awards, as it won the Gold Award for In-Town Retail Scheme under 300,000 sq ft.

The building, which represents one of the largest consolidated retail spaces across central London, has now won ten major awards since it completed just over a year ago.

With 214,000sq ft of retail space over three storeys, the shopping centre has transformed the City into a successful destination venue.

BCSC Chief Executive, Michael Green, said, “The winners demonstrate that even in the toughest trading conditions in a generation, long-term investment in high quality schemes can reap its rewards. They also show how investment in shopping centres can have tremendous benefits to the wider community too.”

The BCSC Gold Awards are the leading accolades within the shopping centre and retail destination industry.  They are designed to reward excellence in retail-led development and recognise projects that drive regeneration and generate improvement in the quality of the built environment.  Westfield Stratford City won the award for the best mall over 300,000sq ft for its unparalleled scale and the transformation is has brought to East London.

Chris Goddard, Chairman of the BCSC Gold Awards Jury and National Head of Planning, Development and Regeneration at GVA said, “The jury unanimously agreed that Westfield Stratford City and One New Change both represent the very best of innovation, commercial success, design, integration and contribution to wider regeneration.”
