Acting on behalf of Caffé Nero, SPACE Retail Property Consultants has agreed a new 10 year lease in relation to a 1,352 sq ft unit at British Land and Universities Superannuation Scheme’s (USS) new £84 million Whiteley retail development in Hampshire.

Whiteley comprises 320,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space anchored by Marks and Spencer and Next and features 10 restaurants and cafes. The former outlet centre has been transformed into the next generation of retail space.

The scheme’s exceptional design features contemporary shop units for some of the best retailers in the UK with dramatic double and triple height glazing and European oak panels. Whiteley also incorporates a market square surrounded by seven units which have been designed for local, independent retailers. High quality public spaces and landscaped areas will feature specially commissioned public art.

SPACE Retail Property Consultants continue to advise Caffé Nero on its plans for expansion in the Out of Town sector. Whiteley’s letting agents are Wilkinson Williams (retail), Cushman & Wakefield (retail) and Davis Coffer Lyons (leisure).
