Brook Centre scheme marks 'key milestone'

A “key milestone” has been celebrated at New Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire, with a topping out ceremony for the Brook Centre, a new local hub being developed by Charterpoint in collaboration with The Drummond Trust.

Set to open in spring 2025, the two-storey mixed-use centre will feature a Sainsbury’s Local and four retail units, including a café on the ground floor, while the first floor will house Forest House Medical Centre

Designed by Franklin Ellis Architects and built by Davlyn Construction, the Brook Centre will be the first local centre serving the “pioneering new community” in New Lubbesthorpe, which will eventually include over 4,000 homes.

Giles Nursey, managing director at Nottingham-based Charterpoint, which specialises in creating sustainable, mixed-use spaces, said: “We were very pleased to stage a topping out ceremony at Brook Centre to mark a key milestone in the delivery of this important community facility for New Lubbesthorpe.

“It was the perfect opportunity for the Charterpoint team to demonstrate the progress that has been made on site. 

“Once completed, Brook Centre will provide new retail facilities and a café/bistro, plus a new base for Forest House Medical Centre – all enhancing the facilities of this pioneering new community.”
