The Kirkgate Centre opened in 1976 – then called the Arndale Centre – and was dubbed Bradford’s “space-age shopping centre.”

It controversially replaced the city’s much-loved Victorian Kirkgate Market, which was demolished to make way for the then modern shopping centre. In recent years, the centre has suffered from a high number of vacant units, partly due to competition from The Broadway, which opened in 2015, and changing shopping habits.
“It will be housing led, but with commercial space on the ground floors of some of the new buildings. There will be a lot more green infrastructure than in current housing developments.” The planned City Village will have up to 1,000 homes, and will include the under construction High Point redevelopment.
The Council has said building could start by 2025, but Cllr Ross Shaw says one challenge will be to make the huge changes without causing disruption during Bradford’s City of Culture year, also in 2025.
