The Richmond House of Fraser store has seen planning approval granted for a multi-million pound investment in the site.
The new mixed-use development at 80 George Street will see the creation of 22,000sq ft of retail and leisure space on the ground and lower ground floors, while the top four floors of the building will be used for 42,000sq ft of office space.
A spokesperson for Canadian and Portland said: “We’re now at the exciting stage of bringing the scheme to the market and looking ahead to delivering this multi-million-pound investment.
“It will give this prominent building a new lease of life and deliver much-needed, high-quality office and retail space in the heart of Richmond upon Thames, which we believe will support the long-term vitality of the town centre and create hundreds of new jobs.”
The site is due to be vacated in September and the developer of the scheme, Canadian and Portland estimate the retail elements could be available for occupation as early as autumn 2021.
