Makeover in store for part of The Centre in Livingston

0 The refurbishment is planned for the older part of the centre that leads into the newer section Hines, the international property firm, has started work on a seven-figure refurbishment of part of Livingston’s The Centre shopping complex.

The project in Phase 1 of the mall will include new entrance doors, ceilings, energy efficient lighting, new “contemporary” seating areas and improved wi-fi.

Work on the £1.8 million refurbishment is expected to reach completion by December and will take place outside trading hours to allow retailers to trade as normal and ensure minimum disruption for customers.

Sharon Bloodworth, director of shopping centre asset management for Hines UK, said: “The £1.8m revamp of Phase 1, built in 1976, includes refreshing and modernising the interior of this area of the shopping centre to bring it into line with the newer parts of the centre.”

In addition to the refurbishment, The Centre is gaining a number of new store openings, including a recently launched Greggs outlet.
