Lendlease and Invesco Real Estate sign Skechers at Queensgate in Peterborough.
Located on the Upper Mall in the former River Island unit, the 2,611-sq ft store joins Skechers’ worldwide portfolio of franchised retailers and is due to open at the end of April.
This news coincides with the commencement of phase one works for the £60m extension of Queensgate. The extension, totalling 77,000sq ft, will be anchored by a 10-screen Empire cinema and will open in Autumn 2021
Guy Thomas, head of retail at Lendlease, said: “Skechers’ new store will join the growing footwear line-up at Queensgate, located opposite Office and JD Sports, and will join the brand-new gym, Energie Fitness. The next few years will be very exciting for Peterborough and Queensgate, with the new brands and extension significantly broadening Queensgate’s regional appeal.”
CBRE and Time Retail Partners represented Queensgate.
