The Derwent Group has attracted Oak Furniture Land to its White City Retail Park in Trafford, Manchester. The national furniture retailer agreed to take a 10,665 sq ft (991 sq m) unit (Unit 10) on a 10 year lease and opened its doors this weekend.
Oak Furniture Land follows several recent major retailers to secure a unit such as Home Bargains, Costa Drive Thru, and M&S Foodhall. White City is already home to Currys, Dreams, Furniture Village, Halfords, Sofology and SCS, and continues to attract further strong interest from tenants.
White City has undergone major redevelopment, in the form of a £10 million transformation led and managed by The Derwent Group, with the firm making significant investments in its many other retail portfolios across the North West. The Derwent Group continues to attract tenants for White City, with strong interest and a number of negotiations already ongoing with some major brands.
James Maule-Ffinch, Senior Asset Manager at The Derwent Group said:
“Oak Furniture Land is the latest of a number of major retailers that have already committed to securing their places at White City Retail Park. With the arrival of Costa and M&S Foodhall, the mix of tenants is diversifying and the retail park is expected to become a major retail destination for people across Manchester with excellent accessibility and some very popular brands. It’s a really exciting time for White City which has gone from strength to strength since its recent redevelopment.”
Situated on the prominent Chester Road in Trafford, White City Retail Park is perfectly placed to become one of the North West’s major retail destinations. The transformation of the retail park will culminate in 210,570 sq ft of retail space and 658 free car parking spaces, in addition to creating hundreds of jobs for surrounding communities.
Joint agents for White City Retail Park are Cheetham & Mortimer and CSP (Curson Sowerby).
