Preston Tithebarn redevelopment
The Preston Tithebarn redevelopment project was a £700 million city centre regeneration initiative in Preston, Lancashire. The project was intended to be developed by Preston Tithebarn Partnership, a 50/50 joint venture between Grosvenor and Lendlease in partnership with Preston City Council. In October 2005, Preston City Council and Grosvenor signed an agreement to go ahead with the Tithebarn regeneration project as part of Council's broader plans for Preston city. Tithebarn was objected to by neighbouring councils and the scheme was abandoned in 2011.
