Letting agents MMX Retail appointed at Whitefriars
Published: 17 January, 2011
Henderson Global Investors and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) have appointed MMX Retail as the new joint agents on Whitefriars, the open-air retail scheme in Canterbury city centre, which they purchased from Land Securities in 2008. MMX will be replacing Cushman & Wakefield and working alongside McMullen Wilson.
The team will provide comprehensive leasing, landlord and tenant and strategic asset advice.
Nick Symons, partner of MMX Retail, said: “Securing such a flagship instruction is a fantastic end to our first year, particularly since both joint owners are new clients for MMX Retail. Whitefriars provided a new heart for the city when it launched in 2005, and we look forward to strengthening the centre’s position as the prime retail destination for Canterbury and the East Kent region.”
Jason Boyce, asset manager at Henderson Global Investors, added: “The appointment of MMX Retail, alongside McMullen Wilson, provides us with a strong and very experienced team. We are confident that the new team will successfully be able to drive the centre forwards as we implement a robust asset strategy, in order to deliver a strong and vibrant tenant mix.”
