Europa Capital and Ediston have successfully pre-let the last remaining unit at Gateway Retail Park in Plymouth to Wren Kitchens. All of the planned retail units are now pre-let, ahead of the development’s practical completion in June 2018.
Located in the Marsh Mills area, this new retail development will comprise a 50,000 sq. ft. retail terrace let to Wren Kitchens, Mothercare, Tapi and Sofology, along with two ‘drive-thru’ units, let to KFC and Costa Coffee. This retail warehouse park benefits from immediate access onto the A38, one of the main roads into Plymouth.
James Fortescue, Partner at Europa Capital, said: “We are pleased to have fully pre-let this asset and feel this demonstrates the strength of the location and the quality of our prospective development.”
Alastair Dickie, of Ediston Real Estate, added: “We were confident on acquisition that there would be strong demand from national retailers looking for a presence in Plymouth. These successful pre-lettings reflect the strong relationships we have built up with occupiers in the retail warehouse sector with our partner Europa Capital.”
Europa Capital and Ediston were advised by Harvey Spack Field.
