Nailers Yard Progress Celebrated

Bromsgrove District Council, alongside key project partners, gathered earlier this week to mark a significant milestone in the Nailers Yard redevelopment – the completion of the site’s steel framework.

Representatives from Bromsgrove District Council’s Regeneration Team, the Council Cabinet, Kier, and Arcadis came together at the former Market Hall site in the heart of Bromsgrove to celebrate the progress made on the transformative town centre project.

The event featured speeches from some of those in attendance, all highlighting the importance of the development in revitalising the area for both residents and visitors. The ceremony concluded with the symbolic tightening of the final bolt in the steel frame, signifying a major step forward in the build.

Leader of Bromsgrove District Council and Cabinet Member for Strategic Partnerships, Economic Development and Enabling, Cllr. Karen May, said: "Watching the frame take shape over the past few months has been truly exciting. Our mission to enhance Bromsgrove for residents, businesses, and visitors continues with this ambitious project. Nailers Yard represents a fantastic opportunity to diversify Bromsgrove’s town centre offering, attract new businesses, and provide high-quality spaces for community use."

Once complete, Nailers Yard will feature a commercial building designed for premium office space and food and beverage operators, as well as a versatile community building known as The Pavilion. The Pavilion’s open-plan ground floor will host creative exhibitions, markets, and other community events throughout the week. The surrounding public realm will also be enhanced as part of the scheme.

Tony Shenton, regional director of Kier Construction Eastern & Midlands, said: "Nailers Yard is an exciting project that we are proud to be a part of. The modern transformation of this former Market Hall site is designed to support the revitalisation of the High Street, and we hope it will benefit the community of Bromsgrove for decades to come.” 

Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Finance, Cllr. Sue Baxter, said: "This development is set to become a vibrant commercial and cultural hub for Bromsgrove. Alongside the re-naturalisation of Spadesbourne Brook, Nailers Yard will enhance our leisure and business landscape. The ability to accommodate a wide range of businesses and community groups in such high-quality facilities will make Bromsgrove an even more attractive place to live, work, and enjoy."

With the site having remained vacant since 2020, the completion of the steel frame marks a significant achievement in the journey toward revitalising the area. The project is on track for completion in early 2026.
