Construction firm appointed to £24m Cheshire Oaks expansion
Construction company Mace is to deliver the £23.8m expansion of Cheshire Oaks.
TH Real Estate, owners of the Cheshire Oakes Designer Outlet in Chester, has appointed the firm to serve as main contractor for the project.
McArthur Glen, as operators of the Cheshire Oaks Outlet, is working in a development management role for the scheme.
The expansion will create more than 25,000 sqft of new space for the centre, including new retail units, a visitor centre, expanded car parking facilities and a number of other amenities, including a play area and new public realm. A new footbridge will also improve access for local residents.
The programme of work will be delivered over the next twelve months, with completion targeted for December 2018.
Mace has worked with TH Real Estate on a number of other major projects, including both 70 St. Mary Axe and 1-19 New Oxford Street in London.
Adrian Yates, development manager, TH Real Estate, said: “The further development of the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet will provide a boost for the local area, helping to enable sustainable economic growth and specifically, our further investment will deliver a very meaningful enhancement to the facilities and retail experience for customers. We are looking forward to working with Mace over the coming year to deliver this significant scheme.”
Neil Hennessey, Mace’s regional director, added: “We’re very proud to be appointed to deliver the extension of Cheshire Oaks. It’s a great win for the Leeds based regional team at Mace, and we are looking forward to working with the local community to deliver tremendous benefits for the wider area as a whole. We are excited to be a part of this prestigious and complex scheme.”
