Mark Garmon-Jones, head of shopping centre investment and repurposing, comments: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire two dominant town centre retail schemes, let to a strong mix of major, national retailers.

"Available to purchase together, or separately, the two sites offer significant opportunities for repositioning or development to enhance the existing strong tenant line-up and continue to maintain the strong occupancy.”
