An array of fashion stores have opened for business at Land Securities and British Land’s Bon Accord centre with four new lettings totalling 12,100 sq ft. Karen Millen took 3,200 sq ft for its first Scottish store out of the central belt. At the same time three other fashion brands have relocated to new, larger units within the centre with Warehouse taking 3,000 sq ft, Oasis 3,800 sq ft and Coast 2,100 sq ft.
The openings coincide with the extensive refurbishment of the central atrium to create a premium high street fashion hub. More fashion retailers are set to open in this area in August, including River Island in 11,180 sq ft, Topshop in 16,000 sq ft and a flagship Next store which, at 54,000 sq ft, is set to be the biggest in Scotland.
On behalf of the partnership, Katherine Armstead of Land Securities commented: “We have invested significantly in our Aberdeen centres, reconfiguring units and upgrading surroundings to help ensure we can continue to attract top brand names as well as improve the shopping environment for our customers.”
Eric Young & Co, Cushman & Wakefield and FG Burnett are joint retail agents for Bon Accord & St Nicholas while CWM acted for Aurora Group.
