New Look For Bracknell As It Sports New Line Up

Land Securities has secured fashion brands New Look and JD Sports to take new space at The Peel Centre in Bracknell.

The deals follow the successful arrival of Next, which moved in at the end of 2010, and will see some 12,200 sq ft space added to the existing 153,250 sq ft open A1 retail park.

New Look will take up 8,000 sq ft and JD Sports 4,200 sq ft. The sports clothing company will be a new brand for Bracknell and both shops are due to open in autumn 2011.

Nick Duffield, Land Securities Portfolio Director for The Peel Centre, said: “These two new lettings are a continuation of our regeneration of what was an original 1980’s retail park and will create modern units that appeal to retailers.

“In the past few years, we’ve significantly improved The Peel Centre including letting refurbished units to Tesco Home and Next and now these lettings will further enhance the park and strengthen Bracknell as a shopping destination.”

This news follows the acquisition of the 102,000 sq ft The Point Leisure Bracknell bought by Land Securities late last year. The leisure centre adjoins Land Securities’ shopping park The Peel Centre. Both centres are now managed as one park.

Morgan Williams acted on behalf of Land Securities and Wilkinson Williams for JD Sports and CBRE for New Look.
