Silverburn (also known as Pollok Town Centre or The Centre) is an 'out of town' shopping centre located on Barrhead Road in Pollok, Glasgow, Scotland. The development replaces the 75 acre (214,000 sq ft) Pollok centre with a brand new 1,500,000-square-foot (100,000 m2) 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 (RPH), 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.
In 2015, The Centre expanded to include a Cineworld cinema and 9 restaurants including Zizzi & Pizza Express which opened in 2014. Further plans for expansion were proposed in October 2015, with the intention to expand over the other side of the M77 with further shopping and leisure features, a hotel, and a community centre.
There have been several evacuations due to suspected fires. On 5 March 2015 there was a fire at the shopping centre, with no casualties. There was another fire on 25 March and the centre was evacuated. This happened again on 8 May 2015.
