Objectives
The old ‘Arndale Centre’ was acquired by our client
and we have worked closely together to identify
various expansion and refurbishment initiatives.
The overriding objective was to improve the overall
shopping experience through active asset
management.
Our View
Stretford Mall has suffered in the past from a lack of
investment from previous owners. Our view was that
we needed to capitalise on its prominence at the
heart of the local community.We set out expansion
and refurbishment initiatives which could be
implemented in stages.
The Results
Some of our proposals are currently in for planning
approval but several have already been implemented
as part of an active asset management programme
which has seen footfall and trading performance
increase dramatically.
The opportunity is now being taken to prepare a
comprehensive masterplan and redevelopment
strategy for the centre as a whole which will reinforce
its town centre function as well as provide a retail
destination in its own right.
