McArthurGlen to launch the construction of €179.5m Cannock Designer Outlet (GB)

McArthurGlen has confirmed that construction of the €179.5m (£160m) designer outlet in Cannock near Birmingham, the UK’s second largest city, will commence this month. This new development will create a landmark retail destination and community hub for the West Midlands, which will span 285,000ft² of retail space across two phases and generate 1,000 jobs for the local area. Due to be complete in 2020, Phase I will be home to 80 sought-after premium and luxury brands offering year-round savings of up to 60%, a selection of restaurants and cafes, a children’s play area, bike parking for cyclists and 1,400 car parking spaces.

 

Gary Bond, Joint Managing Director of Development at McArthurGlen, said: “We are thrilled to start construction on this milestone development for Cannock. The new centre will generate significant employment for the local area and create a new retail destination for the region, serving 11 million local residents. Cannock Designer Outlet will be built to the highest standards of architectural design and sustainability, reflecting and respecting the surrounding natural landscape.”

 

Cannock Designer Outlet will also deliver an additional €1.7m (£1.5m) investment in various projects that will bring significant benefits to the local community. This investment programme will include the enhancement and ongoing maintenance of the Mill Green Nature Park, improvements to Cannock Town Centre and the railway station, and support for developing skills and employment prospects for local people.

 

Derbyshire based construction company Bowmer & Kirkland has been appointed to deliver the scheme.
