PROJECT SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED DURING THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
Whilst many developers walked away from projects post 2008 due to the global financial crisis, Westfield took the lead in actively managing The Broadway Bradford development during difficult economic times to develop, lease, construct and forward sell, The Broadway Bradford to investment fund, Meyer Bergman. The team delicately managed relationships with Government, retailers and investors to maintain confidence in the scheme which opened in 2015. The opening of the centre received praise from the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron for the resilience of the team to deliver a project in the North of England where investment and economic activity had stagnated.
