At the car park, Anglia Television reporter John Kiddey says that the cost of the project is thought to be around £25 million, with that expense borne by the developers.

Additional Description

The idea of developing the site near Norwich Castle for a shopping centre originated in the 1970s, with a proposal based on an underground connection towards Norwich Market and Castle Meadow accepted in the 1980s. The construction work starting in 1990 was preceded by an archaeological dig 1987 – 1991. See https://historyofnorfolk.com/norwich/history-of-castle-mall-quarter/
