Peel Retail Parks has announced plans to develop the largest Next store in Scotland.
The 80,000 sq ft scheme at Straiton Retail Park, Edinburgh, is set to open mid-2016.
The new store is the third expansion for Next in Straiton, as the retailer increased its floor space from 15,000 sq ft to 80,000 sq ft over three years.
Mark Whittaker, group property director at Peel Land and Property, said: “Benefitting from its strategic central position on the city of Edinburgh bypass, with retailers reporting exceptional like-for-like sales growth, we feel Straiton is perfectly placed to position itself firmly in the upper tier of the UK retail hierarchy, bringing significant economic benefits to the wider Edinburgh area.
“We will now continue the exceptional momentum we have generated and focus on bringing more exciting retail and leisure providers to the park, developing our unbuilt planning consent and delivering against our business plan.”
