Work under way on Ashford Designer Outlet Extension

Chapman Taylor is pleased to announce that construction has begun on the Ashford Designer Outlet extension in Kent. On schedule to open in the second half of 2019, this extension to the existing designer outlet will add circa 50 retail, leisure and F&B units to the 80 already operating, as well as a new events space and a children’s play area. The canopy roof on the existing building will be modified to tie the new area in visually.

A net 324 extra parking spaces will be created to serve the development, while links to Ashford town centre are being improved to facilitate the whole scheme. The extension is expected to add a further 500 employees to the current 1,000.

Reflecting Kent’s status as ‘the garden of England’, a living green wall of tens of thousands of vertically-stacked plants will clad the centre – the longest living wall in Europe - greeting affluent long-haul tourists from Europe and beyond as well as day-out shoppers.

Chapman Taylor designed the new extension for McArthurGlen alongside Applied Landscape Design.
