Union Square is the flagship project set to redefine Torquay’s town centre. This ambitious redevelopment will introduce 100 new homes and new health facilities, while preserving the existing multi-storey car park and the historic Grade II listed Pannier Market.
• With over £11 million of Town Deal funding, Union Square
is backed by substantial financial support.
• This project aims to reshape the town centre,
introducing a mix of uses to ensure a vibrant and
sustainable future.
• A prime opportunity to provide much-needed
affordable housing for both sale and rent, addressing a
critical community need.
• The redevelopment will create a higher quality high
street experience, attracting both investors and visitors.
• By reducing the number of empty shops and creating
new employment opportunities, Union Square will
invigorate the local community.
• The site boasts excellent bus and public transport links,
ensuring easy accessibility.
• Public consultation has shown overwhelming support
from the community for the redevelopment plans.
• Torbay Council has submitted a planning application,
with a decision expected in summer 2025, and has
already begun acquiring properties.
