Silverburn Shopping Centre

Silverburn is an 'out of town' shopping centre located on Barrhead Road in Pollok, Glasgow, Scotland. The development replaces the 75 acre Pollok centre with a brand new 1500000sqft shopping centre, anchored by Tesco, Next, Marks & Spencer and Debenhams.The completed Silverburn opened for the first time on Thursday 25 October 2007, designed by Building Design Partnership and constructed by Bovis Lend Lease. The largest Scottish Tesco Extra opened on 10 July 2006 at the site, replacing the Tesco store in the old Pollok Centre. The Centre housed 95 shopping units and 14 restaurants and cafes.Developed by Retail Property Holdings Ltd, it is one of the largest shopping centres in the UK. It includes 1 million sq ft of retail and leisure space, 2000 parking spaces in a multi-storey car park, and 25,000 spaces on the ground.The Centre is Glasgow's fifth out of town shopping centre. Catering for a target population from across Scotland, the Centre arguably benefits Ayrshire, especially with the completion of the M77 to Kilmarnock. The developers aimed to attract shoppers from nearby Newton Mearns, Clarkston, Giffnock and Barrhead as well as the towns and villages in Ayrshire.
