Public consultations for the expansion of King Power Stadium’s capacity to 40,000 and significant developments to the surrounding areas took place across August and September 2021.
Our Vision
Our ambition is to create a destination to enrich the life and vibrancy of the City’s sport, entertainment, living and working environments.
Expansion
Increasing East Stand capacity will allow more fans to enjoy the LCFC matchday experience, supporting the growth of the city's economy.
Masterplan
Creating a vibrant destination that attracts visitors all year round.
Public Realm & Fanzone
Our public realm and Fanzone plans will introduce fully-accessible, high-quality public space and new landscaping across the King Power Stadium site.
Arena
A new 6,000-capacity multi-purpose arena will fill an existing gap in the East Midlands market for a medium-sized event space capable of hosting a range of events including conferences, concerts, indoor sporting events and live performances.
Flagship Fanstore
The fanstore will be a prominent, stand-alone structure, providing a modern, experiential retail journey which immerses all visitors in the LCFC story.
Hotel & Business Centre
A new 220-room landmark hotel and business centre is a key component in making a 365-day destination that attracts new spending to the area, creating jobs and allowing visitors to work, rest and relax onsite.
Residential Tower
The residential tower will be a landmark high-rise building, which will include up to 234 units, across an anticipated.
Southwest Pavillion
The South West Pavilion will deliver high-quality, Grade A office space and facilities, to attract professional services, businesses and investment, while helping retain more of Leicester's graduate talent.
Car Park, Cycle Hub & Energy Centre
A new 525-space, multi-storey car park and cycle hub will replace existing surface parking spaces on site.
