CBRE Investment Management has announced Oliver Bonas, the independent British lifestyle brand, has selected Angel Central to open its newest store in Islington.
Angel Central will see the arrival of a 2,856sq ft store for Oliver Bonas, neighbouring anchor brand H&M as well as Flying Tiger. Opening on 11th May, the new space will be designed by the brand’s in-house team and will stock a range of fashion, homeware and jewellery, as well as an extensive gifting section, which will be a first for the Islington scheme.
This new store follows the closure of its previous space at 147-148 Upper Street, demonstrating the ongoing appeal of Angel Central as a prime retail and leisure location within the borough and the opportunities it creates and delivers for leading retailers. Oliver Bonas will join a raft of brands such as UNIQLO, Rituals and MUJI, as well as a host of leisure and F&B, with the likes of Northwood, Vue and The O2 Academy music venue.
Louisa Butters, Head of Retail Asset Management UK at CBRE Investment Management, commented: “Angel Central has observed a very strong first quarter in terms of leasing and performance and Oliver Bonas’ signing is evidence of this ongoing success. It is a brand which has been on our radar for quite some time and it’s fantastic to have them as part of our retail portfolio and deliver more variety for our visitors.”
