Metro Bank is the latest store to select Manchester Arndale as its home, as they open the first of 29 new sites in the north. This follows a raft of successful lettings at the centre with 95,000 sq ft of lettings to its retail, food and beverage and leisure occupiers in 2019.
Manchester Arndale is one of the UK’s largest city centre shopping destinations, welcoming over 40 million visitors each year. It already boasts an impressive line-up of more than 200 shops and restaurants, including international and local brands.
Colin Flinn, regional managing director at intu said on behalf of the joint owners: “Manchester Arndale has welcomed a host of national, international and local brands in 2019. We have provided larger spaces for various existing occupiers, and rightsized spaces for others, with a host of those we’ve welcomed either new to the market, or the north of the UK.”
Manchester Arndale is owned jointly by M&G Real Estate and intu. The retained agents are Time Retail Partners and Metis Real Estate Advisors.
