Rochdale Riverside retail and leisure development

Overview

Rochdale Riverside will create the prime retail core in the heart of Rochdale Town Centre, adjacent to the new Metrolink station and Transport Interchange.

Forming part of Rochdale Council’s £250 million town centre regeneration, the new mixed-use development will incorporate retail and restaurant units, a six screen Reel cinema, a complimenting leisure anchor and multi-storey car park, all surrounded by attractive public realm.

With a focus on connecting into the existing town centre, the scheme will compliment and enhance the retail offer, with the attractive environment drawing in higher footfall to the town centre and increasing customer dwell time.
