Work on the construction of the new Drake Circus leisure complex is progressing at a rapid pace.
The 100,000 square foot development will see a 12 screen Cineworld Imax cinema, 15 restaurants and bars including a Sky bar above the cinema to capture stunning views of the city and its coastline, as well as 420 new car park spaces.
The new scheme will create 350 permanent jobs, a huge number of temporary construction jobs and will benefit the city’s night-time economy hugely.
Restaurant chains such as Frankie & Benny’s and Zizzi have been confirmed to want space in the new £53 million pound complex, with other giants such as Byron Burger and Wagamamas also rumoured to be interested.
The development is due for completion in the autumn of 2019.
