Agents at property consultancy GVA has secured a trio of retail lettings totalling more than 3,000 sq ft at a shopping parade in Huyton in Knowsley.
Leading brands Holland & Barrett and The Fragrance Shop, as well as Knowsley Council’s Citizens’ Advice Bureau, have all signed up for space in the Cavendish Walk scheme.
Holland & Barrett has taken 1,709 sq ft, while Knowsley Council’s Citizens’ Advice Bureau has agreed to take 589 sq ft of space, both on 10-year leases. The Fragrance Shop, which already occupies 577 sq ft, has renewed its lease for a further 10 years.
GVA says the deals are a “strong endorsement” of the scheme’s improved offering, which has recently been subject to investment from the local council.
Sholom Cohen at GVA, said: “Against a challenging retail backdrop, this most recent letting and lease renewal activity at Cavendish Walk significantly demonstrates that there is still good appetite from retailers for the right schemes and locations.
“As a part of our strategy for the scheme, we are focused on continuing to provide the right retail mix for the local demographic, giving people a reason to visit and return to the parade in Huyton.
“We look forward to continuing to work with local and national retailers to deliver a scheme that works well for the area and continues to provide what shoppers are looking for.”
