The owners of Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre in Kent have announced the completion of the refurbishment of the scheme’s East Mall entrance and signed a deal with JD Gyms.
JD Gyms, part of JD Sports, has taken 20,000 sq ft of space in total, including a 6,500 sq ft mezzanine, on a new 15-year lease. The gym operator has begun fitting out and is due to open this Summer.
Phil Fishwick, associate director of property consultancy GCW said: “Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre has a strong and loyal catchment and the owners’ decision to refurbish the East Mall entrance is starting to reap dividends.”
Existing occupiers The Works, Hempstead Therapy Centre and Bakers & Baristas have taken larger stores while Burger King has taken a pre-let on a drive-thru restaurant.
GCW and Savills are joint letting agents while Proactive Leisure advised JD Gyms.
