Last updated 30th Aug 2017
There are hopes that the transformation of a Perth city centre car park into a multi-million pound leisure facility will have huge benefits for the city.
Perth and Kinross Council has completed the sale of Thimblerow - where developers, Expresso Property Ltd, are hoping to create a state of the art multi-screen cinema: a mix of bars; restaurants and speciality shops, a 205 space multi-storey car park and 58 new apartments.
The scheme will support 200 jobs and creating around 126 new jobs in Perth on completion.
The development will still have to be given the go-ahead by councillors.
Nick Robinson of Expresso Property the developer of The Mill Quarter commented, “We are delighted to announce we have concluded missives for The Mill Quarter site from Perth and Kinross Council.
“The next stage is to obtain planning and we hope to apply shortly in the hope that construction works will begin in the first half of 2018.”
Councillor Ian Campbell, Leader of Perth & Kinross Council, said: “The Mill Quarter development is an exciting opportunity to develop and enhance Perth’s leisure offering for residents and visitors, and I’m pleased to see the project reach this milestone.
“Expresso Property has identified the city as a positive location for growth and investment, and this sends out an important signal to existing and potential investors that Perth is the place to be.
