Alan Pearson, Director of FHP Property Consultants is delighted to announce a further letting at intu Derby to Office, who have committed to a new 2,300 sq ft unit.
Office will complement the centre’s existing high quality retail mix and will be located in a prime position opposite leading brands Zara, Topshop and Superdry and adjacent to All Saints.
Kristi Eames, Commercial Director of Office said:
“As owners of prime regional shopping centres, intu offers us great locations to base our brand across the UK and we’re very pleased to announce that we will be opening up at intu Derby. The new shop will open this summer and we have every confidence in its success.”
The centre which was bought by intu a year ago is based in the city centre and makes up the main element of Derby’s shopping offer. As a gateway to the Peak District and Derbyshire Dales which both attract high levels of tourism, intu Derby is an essential shopping destination that attracts 25 million visitors annually.
Martin Breeden, regional director of intu said:
“The team at intu Derby has been working hard to achieve the right balance of retail and exciting dining and leisure offers. Office is a key brand and is a great fit with our dynamic retail strategy to create a mix of high quality, aspirational retail for intu Derby. It’s always great to see a quality brand like Office recognising the strength of our prime regional shopping centres and we’re pleased to welcome another of their stores to our portfolio.”
Alan Pearson, Director of FHP commented:
“Intu Derby continues to attract quality retail and leisure operators and the letting to Office follows on the back of a strong 2014. Recent lettings to both Byron and Joe’s Kitchen on the same north mall were completed late last year and both retailers are on site fitting out to open in May and June 2015 respectively”.
