Lend Lease and Invesco have announced plans for a complete refurbishment of the Westgate Arcade at Queensgate in Peterborough, East Midlands.
The works will begin in May and plans include new signage, tiling and fascias.
Claire Yeadon, asset manager at Lend Lease, said: “The size of the stores creates opportunities for independent brands to have a store in a complementary environment that benefits from Queensgate’s ability to draw visitors from across the catchment.”
The Westgate Arcade upgrade is part of a four-phase plan by Lend Lease and Invesco to upgrade Queensgate. The plans follow significant investment in the centre’s car parks in the past 12 months, together with a number of key additions to Queensgate line-up of leading retailers and restaurants.
Since Invesco bought Queensgate and Lend Lease took over the asset management 12 months ago, eight new brands totalling almost 17,500 sq ft of space have been added to Queensgate. These include Lakeland, Tiger and the forthcoming Handmade Burger Co, which opens in the Old Still at the entrance to Westgate Arcade in April.
