From 2007 the town centre underwent an extensive urban regeneration project known as the “Rotherham Renaissance”: the buildings include apartments, retail units, outdoor cafés, and a new theatre. The Guest and Chrimes factory site forms a significant part of the project, incorporating residential space, commercial space and council offices. Forge Island (current Tesco site) is planned to form an anchor project containing a new Cultural Centre, retail & apartments. In June 2007 construction began on the new St. Anne’s Leisure Complex and is currently well into construction with all the frame work up. In October 2007 plans were announced for a new railway station which is planned to open in 2010. The Renaissance will take up to 25 years to complete.

The project is well into work and is starting to show. As of July 2008 one of the main apartment shopping buildings on Domine Lane is nearly completed and will be opening in October. It is dominating the skyline of the town centre. Next to this is Keppel Wharf which is similar hight to the Domine Lane complex. This has started recently but is already as high as Dinine Lane and will take a year to complete. The Imperial Buildings are well into its renovation. The Guest and Chrimes site is almost cleared, and the All Saints Building has been prepared for demolition.
