Washington Square Shopping Centre
Workington
Under Scoop's stewardship 25 unit lettings were completed to a range of local and national tenants and 22 lease renewals and/or re-gears concluded.
Scoop acquired Washington Square in June 2014 from Blackstone, acting through LPA Receivers, in its second joint venture with Europa Capital LLP.
Washington Square is the dominant shopping centre in West Cumbria. Developed at a cost of c. £50 million the scheme opened in 2006 and provides the prime retailing in the town centre, extending to 263,000 sq ft with 60 retail units.
The Centre was anchored by Next, River Island and New Look and included a 427 space car park. Several vacant units were inherited at acquisition, including two which had never been let.
Under Scoop’s stewardship 25 unit lettings were completed to a range of local and national tenants and 22 lease renewals and/or regears concluded.
Scoop also oversaw necessary remedial work to the Centre’s car park and finalised the legal adoption of the scheme’s malls.
