Watermark WestQuay | ACME
Phase 1 of Watermark WestQuay is the first part of a major redevelopment of a key area within Southampton?s town center designed by ACME. e new scheme contains a 10-screen multiplex cinema, bowling alley, 24 restaurants and cafés, and a new public plaza and esplanade. Created for Hammerson, Watermark sits adjacent to their WestQuay Shopping Centre, drawing the development towards the sea. A soaring cantilevered box wrapped in a skin of curving silver tubes projects out over the new square, signaling the development from the city as a hub of activity.

The WestQuay masterplan addresses Southampton?s historic role as the main thoroughfare for cruise ships and trade. During the course of the twentieth century, the shoreline has become distanced from the local population, moving progressively further away from the medieval town walls that historically marked the waterfront, due in part to a series of port facilities and industrial buildings, such as the former Pirelli factory.Phase 1 and 2 of Watermark WestQuay have been designed as the first steps in a plan to reconnect the city to the sea, embracing Southampton?s ancient maritime history. e overall vision of the master plan will ensure that the new development bridges the level change that currently divides the site from the city center while maintaining protected views by splitting the scheme into distinct north and south projects.
