Cadogan has secured the first retail tenants at The Gaumont, a £235m mixed-use development, and the creation of its “creative quarter” at 196-222 King’s Road, SW3.
The developer has secured leases with independent businesses New Forms, BookBar and Art Play, all scheduled to open in late spring as part of the first phase of openings.
BookBar will open a 1,242 sq ft shop featuring an independent bookshop, wine and coffee bar.
New Forms will occupy a 1,045 sq ft space as a vinyl café and boutique record shop.
Art Play will launch at 20a Chelsea Manor Street before moving to a larger 2,200 sq ft space at 5 Chelsea Manor Street.
Most retailers have signed five-year lease terms.
Hugh Seaborn, chief executive officer at Cadogan, said: “The Gaumont is a new landmark that celebrates the community, heritage and artistic spirit of Chelsea. From the outset, we have collaborated closely with local residents to shape a development that reflects their vision, celebrating Chelsea’s cultural heritage, while supporting its thriving creative scene.”
