Refurbishment of the buildings on Far Gosford Street Industrial Estate in Coventry, renamed FarGo Village. Complex Development Projects have developed a creative village that includes a vibrant mix of uses: marketplace, independent retail, designer-maker and artists studios, galleries, live music venues and bars. The development is being seen as a major driver for economic change in this Regeneration Area and provides a low-cost base for small creative enterprises and artists. The concept is not untried, being based on successful projects in other UK cities such as Truman’s Brewery/Brick Lane in London and The Forum, Devonshire Street in Sheffield. Phase 1 of the village was launched in September 2014 with over 40 businesses.  The project has proven to be a success with the tenants, public and critics.
