Unit to let in Animate - Preston city centre's major new development
Fantastic opportunity to be part of Preston's growing success story.
Animate is a new £45+ million cinema and leisure complex forming one of the key regeneration projects within the Harris Quarter Towns Fund Investment Programme.
The mixed use leisure scheme is funded and will be retained by Preston City Council so will be built with the care and pride befitting of the largest and most important development undertaken by the council for decades.
Construction works completed in November 2024 and Animate will open in Spring 2025.
State of the art leisure hub
Animate will offer an eight-screen cinema, 16-lane bowling alley with gaming zone, five family restaurant units, a food hall, public realm, a socialising unit and 164-space basement car park, with national leisure brands including Hollywood Bowl, ARC Cinemas, Ask Italian, Cosmo, Las Iguanas, Mad Giant Food Hall and Loungers signed up as tenants joined by Taco Bell - Soul Foods Group.
Prime city centre location
The Animate leisure hub could not be more centrally located, sitting next to the refurbished and recently enclosed Victorian Market Hall and events area on the site of the old indoor market and car park.
Animate is a few minutes walk away from The Harris, a Grade 1 listed museum and fine art gallery, and a short distance walk from both the prime shopping pitch at the St George's Shopping Centre and the City Campus of the University of Central Lancashire, which is home to 38,000 students and staff.
Available units for let
There is now just one final unit (10,270 sq ft) offering social space on the upper level available.
