British Land’s Broadgate site has been given a fresh retail boost with the announcement of four new lettings, including a plant-based burger restaurant backed by Lewis Hamilton.

Retail Week can reveal that the retail offering at 155 Broadgate, currently anchored by the 42,000 sq ft Italian food hall and grocery concept Eataly, has been boosted by four new lettings, including three new restaurants and a cafe. 

Neat Burger, the plant-based burger restaurant which counts Formula One star Lewis Hamilton as an investor, is set to take 2,700 sq ft; while bar and restaurant Nest has taken 3,300 sq ft including a large outdoor terrace that will link with Eataly.

Coffee chain Black Sheep will be taking 1,200 sq for its cafe and cocktail concept, and will also run a reception coffee spot within 155 Broadgate; while takeaway chain Honi Poké will take a 500 sq ft space. 

British Land said the new brands will “grow Broadgate’s diverse leisure and hospitality offering” and tap into growing consumer trends, particularly around plant-based eating. 

Alongside the flagship Eataly, which opened in May following a long delay due to the pandemic, the development also includes hospitality and retail offerings from the likes of Bar Douro, Spanish tapas restaurant José Pizzaro and independent wine retailer Uncorked. 

British Land leasing director Alice Keown said: “We’re excited that four fantastic brands are joining us at Broadgate. With combined lettings totalling over 7,000 sq ft of space, we’re pleased to see continued confidence in Broadgate as a world-class leisure destination.

“We’re committed to providing an exceptional experience to everyone who visits or works at our Broadgate campus. These new lettings, together with the recently launched restaurants at 100 Liverpool Street, will serve to further enhance Broadgate’s offering to customers.”

The institutional landlord is investing £1.5bn into the Broadgate site, bringing together office space, alongside hospitality and retail offerings at 100 Liverpool Street, and four public squares including the 1.5-acre Exchange Square park.

British Land were advised on the leasings by Davis Coffer Lyons and Nash Bond.
