Hammerson set to take on Thornfield's Smithfield Market scheme

Mixed-use developer Hammerson is to work up proposals for the regeneration of Smithfield Market, after the parent company of original developer, Thornfield Properties, went into administration last week with debts of over £100m

A spokesperson for Hammerson confirmed that the body was in discussions with administrator Deloitte over taking on the Smithfield scheme, but said a specific role had not yet been decided.
