Birmingham has been the focus for £6 billion of new investment, £500m of which was allocated to the redevelopment of the Bullring.
Phase One of the redevelopment of Bullring, a 4,500 square metres state-of-the-art Indoor Market, opened to the public in October 2000. The main Bullring development opened in September 2003 and has transformed the historical heart of the city, linking the markets and the New Street/High Street areas.
