Derby city centre’s leading retail and leisure destination, Derbion, has announced more than 200,000sq ft of new lettings.
New retailers include Frasers, Mango and Tommy Hilfiger, with several existing names also significantly upsizing their footprint.
The announcement follows the launch of Derbion in March this year, and comes as the first phase of a multi-million-pound evolution of the 1.3 million square foot scheme, with a focus on strengthening its breadth of offer across retail, F&B and leisure.
Frasers Group plc has signed for the 127,000sq ft unit previously occupied by Debenhams, in a deal agreed within three months of the store closing. The unit, which spans three floors, will open as a Frasers.
Separately, and further bolstering Derbion’s premium fashion offering, Frasers Group has confirmed that it will take the former Topshop unit, bringing luxury retailer FLANNELS to the 24,000sq ft space. Completing the significant deal, Frasers Group has confirmed it will also take a further 50,000sq ft of retail space, which housed the former BHS department store in St Peter’s Street.
Tommy Hilfiger opened the doors on a new 3,500sq ft store in June, and Mango has commenced fit out on a 5,000sq ft unit, following the recent arrivals of Hugo Boss, Hobbs and Whistles at Derbion.
