| | Shopping Centre reports that Debenhams has signed to anchor the £40m phase of redevelopment at Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth.
The department store will be a first for Wandsworth and will trade from 81,880 sq ft over ground, mezzanine and first floors with entrances on Garratt Lane and on to the North Mall inside the existing scheme.
Works are due to begin in early 2013 and will see the demolition of the existing Arndale Walk section of the centre, to create 100,000 sq ft of new retail space. Alongside the new Debenhams, five further retail units will be created along Garratt Lane and Metro is in advanced negotiations with a leisure operator for a 20,000-sq ft unit on the second floor. Debenhams is expected to be trading by Spring 2015. |
