Miller Developments is expected to start work late next year on the
UK's biggest redevelopment deal - the £1bn Omega scheme in
Cheshire.
Miller has been selected as preferred joint venture partner for the Warrington project in tandem with the Royal Bank of Scotland.
However, Miller will not automatically become the scheme's main contractor.
Andrew Sutherland, Miller Developments director, said: "I would be surprised if English Partnerships would allow a negotiated deal - and about 85% of the construction division's work is negotiated." The job is much more likely to go out to competitive tender, he said.
The 226ha scheme, which will be phased over 25 years, will include offices, industrial and distribution space, hotels, shops and leisure facilities. The target date for a start on site is November 2002.
Miller had to beat off a strong challenge from its only remaining rival - a consortium including Amec and US developer Hines.
