Wembley Park announces flurry of new leasings
Wembley Park is to expand its retail offering after developer Quintain signed up five new lettings at the scheme.
The move will include the addition of a new 30,000 square foot “super gym”, which will open onto Union Park. This will feature a CrossFit studio on the lower-ground floor, which will also serve as an events space to be used by fitness brands and partners. Meanwhile, the upper-ground floor will be home to a range of gym equipment and spaces, including treadmills, free weights, a spin studio, a yoga room, a space with sauna and steam room and changing facilities. It will be run by EQL Fitness, which already operates another site in London, CrossFit Putney.
EQL Fitness will be joined at the scheme by new pilates concept El Estudio and bike repair shop Fix Your Cycle. Furthermore, Quintain Living, which manages what will be the single-largest build-to-rent site in the UK, has signed a lease with Out of Office Coffee in its flagship Canada Gardens development.
Quintain’s vision for retail and leisure at the 500,000 square foot Wembley Park is to create a 15-minute neighbourhood in which residents and visitors can find everything they could want or need within a short walk from their front door or the train platform.
Since March 2020, the company has signed 16 retail and leisure leases across Wembley Park and London Designer Outlet. The latter has recently welcomed Byron Burgers and Lyle & Scott to its line-up and has also announced that Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein are to upsize and take permanent stores at the scheme.
Matt Slade, retail director at Quintain, said: “Wembley Park has kicked off the new year with an even more vibrant offering for the thousands of people who live and work here, as well as the 1.2 million who live within 20 minutes of the destination and the millions more who visit every year.
“These new developments further build on our reputation as one of London’s most exciting retail and leisure destinations, bringing together independents and big-name brands, from local family businesses to even hosting the UK’s second Amazon Fresh.”
