Broadway plans promoted to retailers
The developer of the £320 million Broadway shopping centre is set to showcase Bradford to influential retailers and property agents tomorrow.
Westfield will aim to drum up more tenants for the city centre scheme when it holds its National Leasing Launch at the National Media Museum tomorrow evening.
The event, which will include a site tour, is designed to whet the appetite of would-be tenants.
Leading retailers and agents from the region and across the UK are expected to attend the event to view Westfield’s range of marketing materials and see the site for themselves.
At least 50 per cent of the space in the planned shopping mall has been let, with jewellers Beaverbrooks being the latest tenant to be announced.
Retailers already committed to the scheme include Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, Next, River Island, Topshop and Topman, Miss Selfridge, Evans, Burton, Wallis and Dorothy Perkins.
The groundworks stage of the retail mall has been completed and Westfield has invested about £80m in the scheme.
The company said it would proceed with construction once more tenants had been confirmed.
The scheme will include more than 100 retailers and an 800 seat cafe-style food court. There will also be offices, apartments and 1,750 car parking spaces.
