Land Securities has secured four more retailers at its 185-221 Buchanan Street development in Glasgow.
Fat Face and Skechers will both open 4,000 sq ft, Watches of Switzerland has agreed to take 3,700 sq ft and Office will trade from 3,300 sq ft. They join Forever21, Paperchase and Gap who committed to the development in 2011.
The retail element of the 155,000 sq ft scheme is scheduled to open in March 2013 and is now 90.7% pre-let by income. One shop remains available on Buchanan Street and two stores are available on West Nile Street.
The development also includes 49 apartments, which are due to be completed in autumn 2013.
Land Securities development director, Nick Davis, said: “There have been few development starts in the UK over the past 12 months due to the uncertain economic climate. To be 90.7% pre-let at this stage of the project demonstrates the strength of Glasgow, and in particular Buchanan Street, as a shopping location.
DTZ and Culverwell represented Land Securities.
