The Preston Tithebarn redevelopment project was a £700 million city centre regeneration initiative in Preston, Lancashire. The project was intended to be developed by Preston Tithebarn Partnership, a 50/50 joint venture between Grosvenor and Lend Lease Corporation in partnership with Preston City Council.

Terry Farrell’s masterplan for the project was submitted in 2000. In October 2005, Preston City Council and Grosvenor signed the agreement to go ahead with the Tithebarn regeneration project as part of Council's broader plans for Preston city, with Terry Farrell’s masterplan as the basis for development. In 2006 Grosvenor asked the architects Building Design Partnership to take forward Terry Farrell’s original masterplan and an updated masterplan was subsequently submitted in 2007. The scheme was finally abandoned in 2011 when the anchor tenant for the scheme, John Lewis, pulled out.

Throughout the scheme’s history, a number of neighbouring councils objected to the development. The scheme also included plans for the demolition of Preston Bus Station, a contentious issue which resulted in a failed application for listed building status by English Heritage in 2000. The Bus Station, was built by Ove Arup and Partners in the Brutalist architectural style between 1968 and 1969, to a design by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership (interestingly also appointed as architects to the Tithebarn scheme) with E. H. Stazicker. Following the abandonment of the Tithebarn scheme in 2011, a renewed campaign to save Preston Bus Station was initiated and it was finally granted Grade 2 listed building status in September 2013. It was then refurbished and officially re-opened in 2018.
