Published: 06 October, 2010
Land Securities has unveiled plans for a £15m extension at the Bridges in Sunderland
A planning application to deliver a three-storey 60,000-sq ft anchor store for Primark will be submitted in October 2010. The announcement comes after a strong year for the Bridges which has seen 50,000 sq ft of new lettings, bringing leading brands such as Bank, Blue Inc, Pandora, Disney and Schuh to Sunderland and providing new and bigger space for JD Sport.
As part of the expansion plans Land Securities will create a vibrant new entrance to improve the visual outlook and environment on High Street West which will ultimately drive footfall in this part of the Bridges. Work is scheduled to commence in 2011.
Jonathan Buckle, portfolio manager for the Bridges, said: “This is a significant investment programme which demonstrates Land Securities’ commitment and confidence in Sunderland.”
