Liverpool One, Grosvenor’s £900m retail-led regeneration of Liverpool city centre, is now 55% let.
The 1.4m sq ft project, which was officially launched in London last night, has most recently added Oasis, Superdrug and Game to its line up.
The three retailers will join New Look, Sports World, Virgin Megastores, Nike and Scotts, which have all taken major space units and anchors, John Lewis and Debenhams, which will occupy 240,000 sq ft and 185,000 sq ft flagship stores respectively.
Other retailers already signed up include Karen Millen, Office, HMV, Barratts, Ernest Jones, H Samuel, River Island, O2 and Orange.
Upon completion, Liverpool One will feature four retail districts, 30 individually designed buildings, 1.4m sq ft of retail space, a 14-screen Odeon multiplex cinema, 230,000 sq ft of restaurants, cafés and bars, and more than 600 new apartments, two hotels, offices, a revitalised five acre park, and new public transport interchange.
Neil Barber, head of retail leasing at Grosvenor, said: “We are absolutely delighted by the commitment that Liverpool One is attracting from retailers.
“At what is still quite an early stage, we have been able to secure some of the key brands that will help characterise each of the development’s retail districts.
“Our focus now is to attract those complementary and niche brands that will complete the individual look and feel of each district.”
Liverpool One is due to be completed in 2008, during Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture.
