Bold Lane

Over five years ago Menta saw Derby as a potentially great opportunity to originate key regeneration and started investing in the city.

The overall strategy for the Bold Lane project is to retain investment within the historic part of the city, which has now been renamed the ‘Cathedral Quarter’, and focuses on the Sadlergate area, Bold Lane Car park, and Council landholdings.

Menta’s investment has transformed a number of key redundant properties in the area, and has facilitated new investment into the area through Derby’s regeneration body, Cityscape, and the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA).

The major mixed use development opportunity including the potential to develop the Council owned Middleton House, and the surrounding area within a master plan originated by Menta has now been transferred to a Morley-backed delivery partnership working with EMDA which will eventually see the entire area developed as a live, work and leisure Quarter as originally proposed by Menta.
