Construction underway for £6.5M Bolton Central office development

Construction has begun on a 300,000sq ft five-storey office building adjoining Bolton town centre’s new rail and business interchange.

Infrastructure group, Robertson, has started on the site at the junction of Great Moor Street and Newport Street.

PSP Bolton LLP, an innovative public/private partnership comprising Bolton Council and Public Sector Plc (PSP), are developing the grade A office space.

It is the latest development to start work in the town centre, following the £48M transport interchange, the revamp of Newport Street and the ongoing developments at the Market Place.

The £6.5M Bolton Central development will deliver high specification, modern building accommodation in a prime location fronting the new Bolton Interchange.

Councillor Cliff Morris, Leader of Bolton Council, said: “We have been approached by a number of businesses looking for high quality office accommodation in the town centre, but we have had a shortage of suitable buildings to offer them. This building will be very attractive to potential occupiers and we hope that it will also be a catalyst for future developments and investment, as well as increasing footfall and spend in the town centre.”

Martin Westgate, Regional Managing Director, Robertson North West, said: “It’s always great to break ground on a project that can have a lasting impact on its surrounding community. There is huge potential in Bolton Central, particularly when viewed as part of the entire public realm improvements taking place in the town centre.”

The public will be informed of the projects development over the coming year. It is scheduled to be completed by January 2017.
