Department store retailer Fenwick is understood to be in talks to open its first store in more than a decade at the new £750m development project at Bracknell in Berkshire. Retail Week takes a look at how the project stacks up.
In focus | |
---|---|
Where? | Bracknell, Berkshire |
Developers | Bracknell Regeneration Partnership (Legal & General Property and Schroders) |
What’s happening? | BRP has plans to deliver an extra 600,000 sq ft of mixed-use space once work is completed in the north of the town. The Bracknell Town Centre project - 560,000 sq ft - is made up of retail, 1,000 residential units and a 12-screen Cineworld also in the pipeline. Construction is to begin early next year, following demolition works in September. |
Which retailers will it bring? | The initial phase of the scheme was completed in 2011, where Waitrose opened a 36,000 sq ft store. M&S has signed a pre-let to anchor the centre with an 80,000 sq ft store. The shopping centre is likely to be made up of two thirds retail against a third of leisure. |
Completion date | Summer 2016 |
