Inspired by film pixels and the neighbouring ceramic murals, PTE’s plans for East Square are the first component of an ambitious masterplan to regenerate the town centre.
PTE was chosen by Basildon Borough Council to deliver the council’s aspiration to introduce a daytime and evening leisure, entertainment and food offer in the town centre. Currently on site, the development includes: a 10-screen multiplex cinema, six new restaurants; and upgrades the setting of an important civic space which is bordered by the Grade II listed Brooke House by Sir Basil Spence and Anthony Davies.
The project is currently on site with a planned completion and opening of doors in 2023.
I am delighted our exciting plans for East Square are moving forward with Pollard Thomas Edwards. This development will boost the local economy and provide new jobs for local people. We want East Square to be a destination of choice rather than convenience.”
