There’s a real buzz around Preston this September, and it’s easy to see why.
The long-awaited Tram Bridge is finally taking shape and due for installation this autumn, reconnecting an iconic landmark and improving links across the city. At the same time, the much-loved Harris is reopening after its £19m restoration, bringing fresh cultural energy and creating a hub for art, learning, and community. Add to that the rapid progress of Animate – Preston’s brand-new cinema and leisure complex – with global restaurant brand Cosmo now announced as part of the line-up, and you can feel the momentum building.

All of these projects contribute to a city centre that is fast becoming an even more vibrant and attractive place to live, work, and grow. The investment in culture, leisure, and infrastructure is creating opportunities that will benefit businesses and communities for years to come.
At Wrkspace, we’re proud to be part of this story too. Our plans for Amounderness House, which has now been approved for transformation into a brand-new business centre, will bring flexible workspaces right into the heart of Preston. Just a short walk from the city centre, this development will provide a modern home for businesses of all sizes, complementing our existing Wrkspace centres across the city.
It’s inspiring to see Preston moving forward with so much energy and ambition. From historic landmarks being restored to new spaces being created for work, leisure, and community, the city is thriving.
We’re excited to continue playing our part in this growth story, supporting businesses with the flexible, professional environments they need to succeed. Preston’s future is bright — and we’re proud to grow alongside it.
