Construction phase complete on flagship Burnley scheme

The construction phase of the £23m Pioneer Place regeneration scheme in Burnley is now complete with the first tenants ready to fit out their new premises.

The scheme is anchored by a seven-screen REEL Cinema and will also feature Loungers, Nando’s and Starbucks. 

Deals with two further food and beverage operators are going through legal agreements, and the site also includes a 226-space car park.

Fit-out programmes have now commenced with each of the committed occupiers looking to open in late summer.

Maple Grove Developments worked in partnership with Burnley Council on the project, with Eric Wright Construction undertaking the build.

The project team includes AEW Architects, structural engineer, Both King Partnership and planning consultant Smith Love.

Pioneer Place has secured funding from Burnley Borough Council and Lancashire County Council, the government’s Getting Building Fund administered by Lancashire Enterprise Partnership (LEP), and fashion company and the borough’s largest employer, boohoo.

Jeremy Hartley, group managing director at Eric Wright Group, said: “Pioneer Place is a significant regeneration project which will benefit the people of Burnley and the wider Lancashire area. It’s a place where people will want to come and spend time for years to come and we’re incredibly honoured to have played such a fundamental role in its creation.

“This is one of a multitude of placemaking town centre schemes we as a business have been involved in across Lancashire. The leisure and retail sector has experienced a huge amount of change over the last few years and I couldn’t be more proud of the way in which our teams have worked so collaboratively to ensure that these projects were delivered.”
