Station Hill is a road and proposed redevelopment project in Reading, Berkshire, England.

Redevelopment

There is a 3.5 acres (1.4 ha) proposed redevelopment project of Station Hill.[1] If built, it will be composed of several highrise buildings including a skyscraper, retail space, office space, apartments and public spaces.[1]

In 2012, the Station Hill project passed to a joint venture between Benson Elliot and Stanhope PLC from John Madejski. In February, they released a new £400m plan to be displayed to the public. [3] After the exhibition at the Town Hall, the developers said that the plans had received a positive response. A planning application could be submitted in the summer of 2012.[4]

Buildings

The project will be composed of five highrise buildings:
