The former Great Central Station has been transformed into a thriving leisure and nightlife venue.

Charles Street Buildings revitalised a forgotten area of the city with a high-quality indoor entertainment venue, featuring a bowling alley, street food, bars and pop-up events across a 20,000 square foot space operated by Lane7.

The project has acted as a catalyst for development in the area around the former Central Station, bringing all day activity to the area which supports the new hotels, offices and public realm.
