St Stephen's

St Stephen's is the biggest, most ambitious city centre redevelopment in Hull. The project has transformed Hull city centre. The 40-acre St Stephen’s development comprises -

• a new, state of the art integrated transport interchange
• a shopping and leisure complex, including around 50 shops and stores
• new homes for the Hull Truck Theatre and the Albemarle Music Centre
• a hotel and a residential quarter

The most striking feature of St Stephen's shopping and leisure complex is its dramatic, glazed canopy roof structure. It spans the length and breadth of the curved 'street', which is as wide as London's Oxford Street.

The roof extends through the development, providing natural daylight and, at night, an impressive illuminated landmark. The 'street' will remain open to the public 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
