Department store chain Debenhams has agreed to prelet 60,000 sq ft at Fort Kinnaird in Edinburgh.
The retailer is taking the space at part of Hercules Unit Trust’s and The Crown Estate’s £30m extension of the 700,000 sq ft shopping and leisure park.
The deal with Debenhams follows recent lettings including a new 38,000 sq ft store for Next, 15,000 sq ft shops for Smiths Toys and Pets at Home – both of which have been let on 15-year leases – and an 8,400 sq ft store for Mamas & Papas, which has been agreed on a 10-year lease.
Morgan Williams, Montagu Evans, and Eric Young & Co advised HUT/Crown JV, the Gibraltar Partnership; Debenhams was unrepresented.
