Development of The Centre ground floor area leads to an extension of Pjazza Tigné05 October 2020

A development application submitted by Mid Knight Holdings Limited (MKH) that contemplates the change of use of the ground floor of The Centre office block at Tigné Point, from a food & beverage outlet to office space, was today approved by the Planning Authority.

The approved plans, which were amended after discussions were held with the Sliema Local Council and Tigné Point residents, include an open space on the piazza side, equivalent to approximately one third of the ground floor area, which will be an extension of Pjazza Tignéand will benefit from direct sea views across the Garden Battery.

Pjazza Tigné, at the heart of the Tigné Point development, is a vibrant and bustling square offering mixed-retail, cafésand restaurants for the enjoyment of the general public. The extension to the piazza, contemplated in this permit, will further enhance the area by providing a relaxing space to retreat and relax overlooking the historic Garden Battery which MIDI is converting into a 2,500 square metre publicly accessible landscaped area.
