Almost fully pre-let, Animate will include Hollywood Bowl, ARC Cinemas, Zizzi, Cosmo, Las Iguanas and Loungers
Steelwork installation has begun at Preston's new £45m cinema and leisure complex as the next major phase of the exciting development gets underway.
An estimated 1,150 tonnes of steel are being used for the new steel frame of Animate, the flagship development of the Harris Quarter. It is one of six major projects planned under Preston's Harris Quarter Towns Fund Investment Programme. Preston was awarded £20.9m from the Government's national Towns Fund initiative in March 2021, and the Harris Quarter is a unique part of the city centre undergoing a £200m investment programme to transform its historic buildings, sites and public realm into a diverse culture, leisure and employment offering.
John Chesworth, chair of Preston's Towns Fund Strategic Board, said: "The ongoing erection of the steel frame is the latest landmark in the delivery of Animate and another key moment for the ongoing renaissance of Preston. The Animate complex has already attracted well-respected national leisure brands, that will create an impressive offering of activities to increase footfall to the city, bringing additional economic benefits.
Nick Hague, director at Maple Grove Developments, development partner of Preston City Council, said: "Animate will be an exemplar of what can be achieved when the public and private sector work together. A huge amount of collaboration between all of the key players has allowed us to reach this latest stage of the delivery of Animate and we're excited to see the installation of steelwork as we continue to deliver this outstanding scheme for the people of Preston.
