The new flats are conversions of former office blocks off Lancaster Road and Tithebarn Street, close to Preston Bus Station.

The 130-unit development is the Heaton Group’s fourth scheme in the city and will be Preston’s first amenity-focused residence, with roof gardens, community lounges and independent retailers all within the development, to encourage a more sociable way of living.

What the development will look like

Designed for the future of modern living and working from home, the development has super-fast fibre speeds of up to 250mb.

 “With no sign of slowing down, next year will be our biggest to date and we’re looking forward to announcing further development plans in the coming weeks.

“Our focus is on creating quality developments in high demand areas and building a portfolio we’re proud of and Bishopgate Gardens is key to this.”
