Shopping centre
leasing

Securing the right occupiers for the right space at the best levels of rent; we make this complicated process simple.

WE ARE BUILDING OUR UK SHOPPING CENTRE LEASING BUSINESS WITH DEDICATED RESOURCE AND FULLY FOCUSED ON A KEY NUMBER OF INSTRUCTIONS.

We offer full in-house agency, lease advisory, development, and investment services.

Put simply, Brasier Freeth adds value by adopting a people-first approach.

Retailers are now much more sophisticated in their real estate analysis, meaning that owners and their leasing agents need to be more connected, based on customer-orientated strategies.

It is an understatement to say that Shopping Centres now must do so much more than just offer a variety of products.

Landlords are increasingly reconsidering their tenant mix strategies and introducing new, exciting food and entertainment concepts. However, we should be under no illusion that one size fits all and future proposals will depend entirely on what the individual community needs in that particular location.

In our scheme leasing, Brasier Freeth have adapted to the changing face of shopping centres and have agreed numerous transactions with a wide variety of new tenants, including:

  • Flexible workspaces
  • Medical centres
  • Doctors
  • Dentists
  • Community hubs
  • Children’s play venues
  • Job centres
  • Citizen’s advice bureaus

Alongside a whole host of innovative independent occupiers.
