F&C REIT has been given the go-ahead for a multi-million-pound leisure development at the 170,000 sq ft Alhambra shopping centre in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, paving the way for the addition of a nine-screen cinema and five restaurants at the complex.
The development is expected to play a major part in the continued regeneration of Barnsley town centre, boost the night-time economy and bring greater vibrancy to daytime trade.
F&C REIT investment director Zvi Noe said: “This multi-million-pound investment will bring a much-needed leisure hub to Barnsley and confirms our belief in the town centre.”
The centre hosts 40 retailers and has an average footfall of 140,000 customers a week.
