Byron, the upmarket group of hamburger restaurants, is opening a new branch in York city centre.
The company has signed a 15 year lease on 11 High Ousegate in York. The deal was brokered by DTZ’s Leeds office which acted on behalf of the landlord, a private pension fund. Shelly Sandzer represented Byron.
Niall Mackinnon, Associate Director at DTZ in Leeds commented: “Following recent openings in Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester, Liverpool and Milton Keynes, this is Byron’s seventh opening outside London and its furthest venture north. The deal has set a new improved rental tone on High Ousegate, demonstrating York’s resilience as a frequented tourist destination and signalling a further general improvement in market conditions.”
Founded by Tom Byng in 2007, Byron has 37 restaurants across London, Liverpool, Manchester, Oxford, Kent and Cambridge. Last year it was sold for £100 million to Hutton Collins which is also an investor in Wagamama.
