Blackpool town centre could see the construction of more offices as the council initiates negotiations to attract further investment to the resort. Earlier this year, work commenced on a £100m seven-storey office block on King Street, to accommodate over 3,000 civil servants starting from 2025.
Efforts are now underway for an additional phase of office development, forming part of the Talbot Gateway masterplan near North Station. To kickstart the scheme, the council has allocated £775,000 for the creation of initial designs and will be reimbursed accordingly.
No specific information has been disclosed regarding the proposed office's exact location or the interested party behind the development. However, according to a council report: "Discussions are underway regarding a specific opportunity for an office with a net internal area (NIA) of approximately 4,860m² (52,300 sq.ft.)."
