Property investment managers Catella APAM has received planning approval from the City of Wolverhampton Council to deliver a new leisure hub.

The hub will be based at Mander Centre and anchored by Superbowl UK's new venue.

An estimated £500,000 worth of landlord works will be carried out on the 17,000 sq. ft. space across multiple units by Catella APAM's sustainable retrofit and principal contracting business, Vantage.

Meanwhile, Superbowl UK will establish a new mixed use concept venue, featuring 12 bowling lanes, Crazy Club Soft Play area, interactive darts, a bar and diner and SEGA Prize Zone Arcade, which will open in early 2025.

Harry Wilce, Asset Manager at Catella APAM, said: "We are delighted to welcome Superbowl UK to the Mander Centre as the main anchor for our leisure offer to improve the customer offer at the centre and extend the operating hours, generating significant increase in footfall for the city centre."

Superbowl UK's new mixed use concept creates a vibrant leisure hub on Victoria Arcade and Victoria Street, building on the council’s recent transformation works to pedestrianize Victoria Street.

Councillor Chris Burden, City of Wolverhampton Council Cabinet Member for City Development, Jobs and Skills, said: "This is exactly the type of new development our extensive works on Victoria Street were designed to attract and it will be great to see works starting on site soon now that planning approval has been granted."
