It contains fashion and high street chain stores as well as cafes, restaurants, an indoor market, and the Nottingham Victoria bus station.

[3] The building itself is owned by a limited partnership between Shaftesbury Capital, Corporation Service Company, Global Mutual, and Nottingham City Council.

[4][5] The complex remains the tallest building in Nottingham, with the 26 floor, 256 ft (78 m) high Victoria Centre Flats, which run north–south along their length in a number of blocks of different heights.

[citation needed] In 1970, the kinetic sculptor Rowland Emett was commissioned to design and build a "water-powered" clock known as The Aqua Horological Tintinnabulator.

[6] The clock was installed in late 1972 and chimed on the hour and half-hour, playing "Gigue en Rondeau II" (1724) from Rameau's "Pieces de Clavecin" Suite in E minor.

The parts were then transported back to Nottingham, where Dexter and Intu Victoria Centre staff carried out further refurbishment work.

[9] Following the purchase, the owners wished to begin the planned development of the Victoria Centre, but Nottingham City Council insisted that Broadmarsh must be their "priority" and offered £50 million towards its redevelopment.

It was undertaken by Laing O'Rourke and features a new restaurant quarter in the clock tower area and new lighting, flooring, entrances, and toilet facilities.
