Quintain has appointed CF Commercial as retail and leisure leasing agent, joining existing agent Nash Bond to strengthen Wembley Park’s vision of attracting independent and big-name brands.
The award-winning developer has a vision for a 15-minute neighbourhood across its 85 acres with a full range of amenities, appealing places for work, including remote working, plus great places to eat, drink, shop and play on its residents’ doorsteps. Since the start of the pandemic, Wembley Park has welcomed the likes of Fuller’s newest pub The White Horse, which features spaces to work, and desserts brand Haute Dolci, as well as some of fashion’s top names in London Designer Outlet, the capital’s leading lifestyle and fashion outlet centre.
The transformation of Wembley Park by Quintain is one of the largest and most all-embracing urban development’s currently underway in Europe. The mixed-use project, surrounding the world-famous national stadium, will feature over 500,000sq ft of retail and leisure, including some 240,000sq ft of new build, and will be home to 20,000 full-time residents by 2027. The destination features a spectrum of big-name brands at London Designer Outlet to independent shops and restaurants, spaces for start-ups and artists’ studios and imaginative use of social spaces.
Richard Poyser, Head of Retail Leasing & Asset Management for Quintain, said: “The pandemic has emphasised how important our individual and collective spaces are. The places where we lay our heads at night, buy our groceries, greet our neighbours (from two metres away) and shelter from storms both real and figurative. Just as the pandemic reminded us of how important it is that we meet our basic needs, after the storm we’ll remember how great places can enrich our lives.”
