After 5 years acting as agents jointly with JLL on shopping centre agency in the Charles Darwin Centre in Shrewsbury, we are delighted to confirm that our clients UK Commercial Property Trust, advised by Standard Life, have exchanged with Primark for a new 50,000 sq ft store.

The store, which will span two levels will trigger an exciting £12m investment which includes a brand new fit out for Primark and the transformation of the public areas within the shopping centre.

Councillor Keith Barrow, Leader of Shropshire Council, said: “It’s fantastic news that a well-known national chain such as Primark is to open a new store in Shrewsbury, and is a real vote of confidence in the town. It will further enhance what Shrewsbury offers to shoppers, make the town even more attractive to visitors and to other potential investors and, importantly, create jobs for local people.”
