Centre Park was developed in phases from the 1990s onwards, with the majority of its office buildings built in the early 2000s. The scheme was designed around a large central public park with a 1.5-acre lake, landscaped paths and trim-trails and adopted highways and footpaths.
Chris O’Brien of Centre Park Warrington (Management), added: “Maro have managed Centre Park for over 20 years and it was very important for us to appoint replacement managers that are professional with an excellent reputation of maintaining similar estates to a high standard.
“We are confident Langtree will look after the park for at least the next 20 years.”
