Retail Property - Realm signs up Next and Donnay as outlet anchors

Outlet mall specialist Realm has completed lettings to Next and Donnay - the private label of the Sports Soccer chain - for anchor units at Lakeside Village in Doncaster and Clarks Village at Street in Somerset.

The deals follow the granting of planning permission for two major refurbishment and extension projects.

The Yorkshire Outlet in Doncaster is to be completely revamped and rebranded as Lakeside Village, with 13,000 sq m of retail space in up to 56 units and Next and Donnay as anchors.

At Clarks Village, the two will anchor Phase 6, which will see the centre expand and integrate with High Street.

Phase 6 at Clarks Village includes the development of up to 19 new units totalling 1,860 sq m, as well as the remodelling of 2,325 sq m of existing retail space.

On completion, Clarks Village will provide 16,750 sq m of trading space, with approximately 80 units. Both developments will be launched in the summer.
