The Trafford Centre is a large indoor shopping centre and entertainment complex in Urmston, Greater Manchester, England. It opened in 1998 and is third largest in the United Kingdom by retail space.[12][13]
Originally developed by the Peel Group, the Trafford Centre was sold to Capital Shopping Centres, later to become Intu, in 2011 for £1.65 billion;[14] it set a record as the costliest single property sale in British history.[15]
The battle to obtain permission to build the centre was amongst the longest and most expensive in United Kingdom planning history.[4] As of 2011[update], the Trafford Centre had Europe's largest food court and the UK's busiest cinema.[1]
