Eastbourne in line for retail expansion

Eastbourne170216Kier has been selected to deliver phase two of Eastbourne Arndale Centre’s £85M extension for Legal & General and Eastbourne Borough Council.

Phase two of the scheme will see the construction of 16,200m² of retail and leisure space, which will create an additional 22 retail units at the centre.

Over 300 extra parking spaces will be provided through the construction of two new decks of car parking above the existing multi-storey car park.

In addition, a new public space will be created alongside Eastbourne’s new bus interchange and highways improvements will also be made to improve access for pedestrians and public transport.

Work is expected to begin later this month to divert underground services away from the development site before starting work on the extension, with a completion date scheduled for late 2018.

This latest award builds on Kier’s role in the Arndale Centre extension. In 2015, Kier was appointed to deliver phase one of the scheme, which included a contemporary glass atrium at the Centre’s west entrance.

Kier Construction Southern Operations Director Steve Cresswell, said: “We’re extremely pleased to be delivering the latest phase of this exciting extension project for Eastbourne.

“The new facilities will provide increased shopping and leisure facilities and will ensure the Arndale Centre remains a top retail destination in the area.”
